Preserving Preventive Healthcare Coverage: Compromise Reached Amid Legal Challenges.
Texas conservatives challenging Obamacare’s preventive care mandate have reached a tentative compromise with the Justice Department that preserves free coverage for a range of services while keeping coverage intact nationwide. The Biden administration pledged not to enforce the mandate to cover HIV prevention drugs and other preventive care services against the employers and individual workers who sued claiming that doing so violated their religious beliefs. The agreement still needs approval from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
