The Trump administration was sued by a coalition of almost two dozen states and cities over a new federal rule that will allow businesses and individuals to refuse health care services based on employees' religious beliefs or moral convictions.
The rule, set to take effect in July, would allow health care employees including ambulance drivers, emergency-room doctors, receptionists and customer-service representatives at insurance companies to refuse care in violation of patients' constitutional rights, according to the complaint filed Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan.
