US Supreme Court
The U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether insurance companies must continue covering the full cost of preventive health services under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) next month when it hears oral arguments in Braidwood Management vs. Becerra.
Plaintiffs in the case object to purchasing health insurance that includes certain recommended preventive services, including abortifacient contraception, pre-exposure prophylaxis to prevent HIV transmission, the human papillomavirus vaccine, and screenings and counseling for sexually transmitted diseases and drug use. Last year, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s ruling that the ACA’s requirement to cover without cost-sharing services recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is unconstitutional.
