5th US Circuit Court of Appeals partially upheld ACA requirements for no-cost preventive services.
The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals partially overturned a judge's ruling that would have blocked Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements for certain preventive services to be covered by insurers at no cost, including cancer screenings and heart medication. The court upheld that some no-cost coverage mandates were unlawful due to constitutional violations by the federal task force recommending the services. The case revolves around preventive service recommendations by the US Preventive Services Task Force, Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and Health Resources and Services Administration.
