Gay workers and their corporate supporters won a legal victory over the Trump administration as a federal appeals court ruled that firing people over their sexual orientation is a form of illegal sex discrimination.
Gay workers and their corporate supporters won a legal victory over the Trump administration as a federal appeals court ruled that firing people over their sexual orientation is a form of illegal sex discrimination.
The U.S. Health and Human Service Department waited until a day before ACA payments were due to notify New York and Minnesota by email that more than $1 billion in annual funding was being cut off, according to a complaint filed in federal court.
Advocacy groups filed the first lawsuit challenging the Trump administrations efforts to overhaul Medicaid by allowing states to require some beneficiaries to work or pursue jobs.
