Appeals court finds 'Obamacare' pillar unconstitutional in suit over HIV-prevention drug
NBC News ^ | June 21, 2024 | Benjamin Ryan

A federal appeals court on Friday found unconstitutional a key component of the Affordable Care Act that grants a health task force the effective authority to require that insurers both cover an array of preventive health interventions and screenings and refrain from imposing out-of-pocket costs for them.

The lawsuit centered on the objections of a coalition of small businesses in Texas to the requirement that they cover a drug for HIV prevention, known as PrEP, in their employee health plans. The appeals court did not, however, overturn the related ACA pillar; the practical, immediate impacts of its ruling apply narrowly to the plaintiffs in this case.

Legal experts expect that the case, Braidwood v. Becerra, will ultimately advance to the Supreme Court, given that it poses crucial questions about the constitutionality of the health task force’s effective authority and that of other federal health bodies.

That is a pile of dung we don’t have to have waste expensive military equipment, lie about Savings and Loans, lie about Trump, poop on Palin, etc.

Frankly, the world is net better off, without his continual horrible examples.

IIRC, that disastrous pile of dung known as Obamacare would’ve been repealed if it hadn’t been for John “thumbs down” McInsane.

Such a disgusting move, all because he hated Trump.
