The Huffington Post/New York Legal Assistance Group  09/15/2015

"The New York Legal Assistance Group's LGBTQ Law Project works daily -- both through direct client representation and broader public policy advocacy -- to ensure that low-income LGBTQ New Yorkers are able to access health insurance and a range of medical services at hospitals and in doctor's offices free of discrimination. Unfortunately, our transgender and gender non-conforming TGNC clients in particular experience significant barriers to accessing those services during some of their most vulnerable moments. They are turned away from emergency rooms, experience harassment by medical providers, are denied access to health insurance because of mismatched identity documents or go without basic medical care altogether because of an inability to pay."
