WASHINGTON—Trump administration health officials are expected to release a rule soon rolling back Obama-era protections for transgender people under the Affordable Care Act. Due to an internal administration dispute, it is unclear if those rules will cover other areas, such as education and employment, according to people familiar with the matter. Not expanding the rules could leave the administration vulnerable to legal challenges from those arguing that thegovernment’s policies on gender identity would be inconsistent.
