The Massachusetts Health Connector has expressed strong support for the proposed rule to reinforce nondiscrimination protections in health programs and activities. Advocating for the inclusion of protections based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and language proficiency, the Health Connector emphasizes the critical role these measures play in ensuring equitable access to health care for all. The letter underscores the importance of restoring meaningful access for individuals with limited English proficiency and safeguarding rights for diverse communities, including transgender and nonbinary individuals. Calling for the finalization of these strengthened standards, the Health Connector reaffirms its dedication to health equity and its mission to protect every individual’s right to fair, unbiased health care.
