Brief summary of the article
A divided federal appeals court ruled that President Donald Trump's goal of ending gender-affirming care could not serve as the basis for quashing a Justice Department subpoena issued to telemedicine provider QueerDoc. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's ruling and returned the case for consideration of other challenges to the subpoena.
Main Points of the Article
"They reversed a ruling that quashed the subpoena against telemedicine provider QueerDoc, sending the case back to the district court to consider other arguments."
"We're ready to continue defending one of the most fundamental principles of healthcare: every patient's right to confidential medical care."
