Federal Judge Strikes Down Obamacare's Preventive Care Mandate

A federal judge has struck down an Obamacare mandate that required most private health insurance plans to cover preventive care such as certain cancer screenings and HIV prevention drugs. The ruling applies to all listed services recommended after March 23, 2010. The judge ruled that the coverage requirements are unconstitutional because the task force's members were not nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The Biden administration is likely to appeal the ruling.
