Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Revisions to Certain Patient's Rights Conditions for Participation and Conditions for Coverage; Withdrawal

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) withdrew a proposed rule that aimed to revise patient rights conditions for certain healthcare providers and facilities, ensuring consistency with the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Windsor (2013) and aligning with HHS policy. The rule would have recognized same-sex spouses' rights in Medicare and Medicaid-participating facilities.
