Attorney General Lynn Fitch issued the following statement.
Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch and Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti announced a victory in a multistate lawsuit challenging a Biden-era HHS rule that would have coerced healthcare providers into providing sex-change procedures. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi agreed with the fifteen-state coalition that HHS exceeded its authority by redefining unlawful “sex” discrimination under the Affordable Care Act to include discrimination on the basis of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.”
“The Biden administration attempted to import its radical theories on gender identity into ObamaCare, forcing healthcare providers to perform surgeries or prescribe drugs even if it violated their best medical judgment,” said Attorney General Lynn Fitch. “I am proud to stand with my colleagues from across the country as we fight to undo the Biden administration’s extremist political agenda.”
The Court explains, “Congress only contemplated biological sex when it enacted Title IX in 1972. Therefore, the Court finds that HHS exceeded its authority by implementing regulations redefining sex discrimination and prohibiting gender-identity discrimination.”
Along with Mississippi and Tennessee, Attorneys General from Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, and West Virginia participated. The Court ordered universal vacatur, applying to all states, not just the plaintiff-states.

this is pretty low on my “gives a shit” meter.
meanwhile, the State of MS will withhold payments and contracts if you boycott Israel.
This will set the troons off.
another solution without a problem, another lawsuit by Lynn Fitch that amounts to absolutely nothing for the residents of Mississippi
She won! That’s one in a row.
She is the best hope we have for a governor in Mississippi. As a libertarian, I firmly believe that she who governs least, governs best. And Lynn has proven that she will do the absolute least amount of work required. Unless it is suing her own family for a bigger slice of her inheritance from her daddy’s payday loan business. Yeah, she went all-out for that!
Holy shit, when did that happen?
Biden sure screwed up things-
I don't like her, but, you people are simple minded and uninformed if you don't realize that if, unchallenged, this Biden-Era pandering action would be just one more nail in the coffin of a conservative nation.
It'll now go to The Supremes and we can flip a coin there.
3:01, I wish there was a like button
Thank you, General. You and your colleagues across the country are so brave, so courageous, out there on the front lines fighting the radical theories of the evil, no good Biden administration. It is reassuring to know about your concern for ObamaCare and recognize the importance of good healthcare for all Mississippians. I salute you, General! Keep up the fight! Unless we defeat the Biden administration’s extremist political agenda, Medicare, Medicaid and affordable healthcare will be gone. Then what will we do?
There's low expectations and the AG works hard to try and meet them.
Practical question: Why didn't Bobbie K. Jr. just change the dang rule? Why all the pomp, circumstance, lawsuits and press releases? Asking for a friend.
What's the latest on Lynn's China lawsuit ?
The Sarcastic Force is strong with these ones.
"affordable healthcare will be gone"
Affordable healthcare died the day the Democrats rammed Obama-Care down our throats.
"meanwhile, the State of MS will withhold payments and contracts if you boycott Israel."
It's called the "Israel Support Act of 2019," so that should give you clue of when it was passed.
"Affordable healthcare died the day the Democrats rammed Obama-Care down our throats."
unless you have to pay your own premiums, or have a pre-existing condition (like 1/2 the country), or . . .
But there's always the GOP healthcare plan that they've been promising for the last 18 years, but have yet to produce.
Why do the antisemites always show their butts on everything?
Look at our A.G.! We can be so proud. Lynn Fitch leads from behind so she can turn around and take credit in front of the cameras first.
Once again the AG ads her name to an existing suit and claims victory…
Affordable healthcare as a result of Obamacare is a myth. Premiums and healthcare costs have continued to rise unabated, as predicted by Senator Cruz and others. Just stop spreading misinformation. Obamacare did not improve healthcare for most people.
The rule has been suspended by court order since July 2024. This ruling simply makes it clear that such a rule will not be legal next time there is a Democrat in the White House who wants to unilaterally rewrite the law by fiat. That is a good result. A total of 15 states joined in the action, not just Mississippi.
