Originally intended as a keynote address yet cancelled due to a global pandemic, this Article is timely in its analysis of a confluence of events across the nation that compel discussion of bioethics in a broad sense, as a lens through which to work toward social justice in America, further emphasizing important health inequities in America today. This Article examines disparities, first, by discussing the current social upheavals and their impact in America. Next, it explores one regulatory move that has almost been lost in the midst of a myriad of other pressing issues: the Trump administration’s claim of a clash of civil rights regarding transgender access to health care. Finally, this Article urges those at the intersection of law, medicine, and bioethics to do what they can to lessen the impact of recent events on vulnerable populations. It stresses how the current lack of care, and even outright cruelty rendering a variety of people susceptible to early death, illustrates why there must be more attention paid to social justice in the United States.
