Appeals Court Temporarily Halts Obamacare Ruling on Preventive Healthcare.

A federal appeals court has partially paused a ruling from a Texas district court judge that invalidated the Affordable Care Act's requirement for insurers to cover preventive health services without cost-sharing, jeopardizing access to free preventive care for 150 million Americans. The stay will allow the Department of Health and Human Services to continue to mandate most health plans to cover certain preventive health services. The Biden administration had appealed the ruling and requested a stay of the nationwide impact of the ruling, arguing that it jeopardizes care for more than 150 million people.
