Federal Judge Strikes Down ACA Preventative Care Requirements.
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge in Texas ruled that employers cannot be required to cover key preventative health care benefits under the Affordable Care Act, jeopardizing free coverage of a wide range of services for some 160 million Americans. The ruling affects 100 million people who use the preventive services that the Affordable Care Act requires insurers to provide with no deductibles and no co-pays. The Biden administration is expected to request a stay on the ruling, which could ultimately go to the Supreme Court.
