This section bans discrimination in federally funded health programs on grounds banned by existing civil rights laws. The same enforcement tools those laws already use apply here too. This section doesn't take away any other rights people already have.

(a) In general — Except as this title otherwise provides, no individual can be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under, any health program or activity that receives federal financial assistance (including credits, subsidies, or insurance contracts), or that a federal Executive Agency or an entity created under this title administers — on a ground already prohibited under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (race, color, national origin), Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (sex), the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (age), or section 794 of title 29 (disability). The same enforcement mechanisms available under those laws apply to violations of this subsection. (b) Continued application of laws — Nothing in this title limits the rights, remedies, procedures, or legal standards already available under Title VI, Title VII, or Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Education Amendments, section 794 of title 29, or the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and nothing here overrides State laws providing additional protection against this kind of discrimination. (c) Regulations — The Secretary may issue regulations to implement this section.
