Federal Judge Ends Obamacare Mandate for Preventive Care Services.
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge in Texas has ruled that some Affordable Care Act mandates, including those that require insurers to cover certain preventive care services at no cost to the patient, cannot be enforced nationwide. The ruling comes after the judge had already said that the US Preventive Services Task Force’s recommendations violated the Constitution’s Appointments Clause. The decision represents the latest legal attack on the landmark 2010 health care law and puts in jeopardy the access some Americans will have to a whole host of preventive treatments.
