The ruling stemmed from a case brought by six individuals and two Christian-owned businesses who argued that they should not be mandated to offerUnder the ACA, most health insurance plans must cover certain recommended preventive services, including HIV testing for people aged 15-65 and HIV PrEP for adults who are at high risk of getting HIV.under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a law that "ensures that interests in religious freedom are protected.
The case could ultimately wind up at the Supreme Court, following the same trajectory as the last ACA lawsuit that O'Connor ruled on.
Make Medicare For All the sole coverage for politicians. Watch the improvements and funding magically appear.
AmerMedicalAssn alarmed by today's deeply flawed fed court ruling that jeopardizes access to preventive health services guaranteed under federal health reform. Patients will be subjected to needless illness and preventable deaths.
Not 'could', already has. I called my insurance carrier an hour ago and they informed me I now have a 30% coinsurance cost for cancer screenings. This now means I cannot afford a colonoscopy as I also have a mammogram due.
Good lord. The question is whether this SCOTUS will see how dangerous this is (or care). I mean--there go all childhood immunizations, just for a start.
It's NOT free. You pay an f in premium. You just dont pay deductibles and copay for some basic preventive services.
when more people need to rely on federal assistance programs and/or become homeless because they have to pay out of pocket for life saving care or when tax $ have to now cover expensive cancer care vs cost saving prevention, I hope voters will remember who pushed for this BS!
National Heathcare now!
Good grief, that's just plain stupid. If preventive care isn't covered and employees can't afford it, they could rack up more & higher bills that the employer *will* have to pay for. It's typical corporate short-sightedness.
The people get screwed again.
This is just another example of completely sociopathic classist warfare. Putting health and wellness behind a paywall, and making health services into an even more profit-driven industry, instead of being freely and publicly available for everyone, regardless of finances.
White people never liked ObamaCare so let’s scrap the whole thing. We can pay $50K for cancer screening now.
The freedom to die from preventable late stage cancer
WTf?
Not disagreeing with the premise of this article, but fyi, for accuracy, contraception is one of the only preventive measures not struck down by this ruling.
This is how you know some people are not pro-life, they are pro-forced birth. Anyone who wants to support life and prevent abortion needs to support preventive care and contraception.
Cruelty is the Soul purpose of Republicans
And lots of people that take PREP are not GAY!
Sorry., but you can’t discriminate based on your religion.
So they want gay people to perish? How Christian of them.
Republicans and their judges are trash
Trump judges love making Americans poor and suffer then kill them
So they won't do public healthcare cuz people should be working & have private insurance. And now medical insurance isn't required to cover basic and highly important medical procedures and preventative testing? Just say you want everyone who isn't rich to die and be done with it
Reed O'Connor is a perennial. Whenever there is a policy he disagrees with, he legislates on behalf of his personal views. Law has very little to do with it. The Founders would have wanted it this way?
Their day just isn't complete until they've killed somebody
The fact conservatives shop for judges is exactly why those people shouldn’t be judges.
Another Trumper trying to kill Americans.
