Supreme Court to Consider Reinstating Preventative Care Insurance Coverage Requirements

Background

by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – The US Supreme Court agreed on Friday to consider reinstating certain preventative care coverage requirements under the Affordable Care Act that were struck down by the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals.

The case was first filed by Braidwood MGMT, a Christian business that objected to paying for preexposure prophylaxis and medication for HIV prevention drugs that are included under full Affordable Care Act insurance coverage for employees. The company contends that coverage for such drugs violates its religious beliefs because they “encourage and facilitate homosexual behavior.”

Braidwood also objects to mandated coverage of contraceptives that they believe might “induce abortions.”

Agreeing with the plaintiffs, the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that employers cannot be forced to provide full insurance coverage. “With respect to one of the challenged administrative bodies, the United States Preventive Services Task Force, we agree that the unreviewable power it wields — the power to issue preventive-care recommendations that insurers must cover by law — renders its members principal officers of the United States who have not been validly appointed under Article II of the United States Constitution,” Circuit Judge Don Willett wrote in the 5th Circuit panel’s majority opinion.

Appealing this ruling, the Biden administration has now asked the Supreme Court for a decision. “Such a remedy would upend healthcare coverage for millions of Americans,” Solicitor General Elizabeth B. Prelogar wrote in a brief to the Supreme Court.
