The Supreme Court held the structure of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force constitutional. The ACA’s requirement that insurers offer preventive services at no cost – including cancer screenings – remains in place. Big win for the 150M+ Americans who rely on this coverage.
BREAKING: In the Supreme Court case, Kennedy v. Braidwood, the court ruled 6-3: The US Preventive Services Task Force members are inferior officers; their appointment by HHS Secretary is constitutional. ACA coverage mandates stand.
