Federal Judge Overturns Obamacare's Free Preventive Care Requirement

A federal judge in Texas has issued a ruling that prevents the Biden administration from enforcing a provision of the Affordable Care Act that provides patients with certain types of free preventive care, including screenings for cancer, depression, diabetes, and HIV. The decision applies nationwide and could have far-reaching implications for millions of Americans, potentially bringing the US back to the days before Obamacare when insurers were free to decide which preventive services they would cover. The Biden administration is likely to appeal the ruling, which takes effect immediately, and ask for a stay of the injunction.
