Re: Um,

And:

The Obama administration said the 2008 rule might have mistakenly suggested that health care providers could refuse to treat entire groups of people on account of the providers’ religious or moral beliefs.

Federal laws provide no protection for such refusals, the administration said.


Of course, this would run afoul of basic discrimination law in this country; ie: you can't refuse to treat black people because they're black and your idiosyncratic religious views motivate this discrimination.
