Experienced LGBT discrimination while trying to access healthcare? TELL US
Georgia Equality has partnered with
Georgians for a Health Future and The Health Initiative to help Georgians who have faced discrimination in health care report it so we can help stop it from happening again. Thanks to Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, LGBT Georgians, who experience unique challenges and barriers in obtaining health care coverage and accessing care, now have protections from discrimination in coverage and care. If you believe you have been discriminated against, you can file a complaint online with the Office for Civil Rights. Please also tell us about your experience so we can help you navigate the complaint process and identify systemic issues that should be addressed through public policy advocacy.
