Supreme Court Reviews ACA Preventive Care Constitutionality

News summary

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) mandates for no-cost preventive care services, following a 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision that deemed the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force unconstitutional due to its members not being appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. This case, brought forward by challengers including Christian businesses, raises religious and procedural objections, specifically targeting requirements such as coverage for HIV-prevention medication PrEP. The Biden administration has appealed, supported by Democratic attorneys general and public health associations, emphasizing the jeopardy to healthcare protections enjoyed by millions. The Supreme Court's decision could impact the coverage of preventive services like HIV prevention, cancer screenings, and heart disease statins, which, if reduced, may deter access for lower-income individuals. The case is set to be heard in the spring, with potential implications for Obamacare's preventive care provisions as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office again.
