US Court Rulings Threaten Free Preventive Health Services Under Affordable Care Act

The Biden administration plans to appeal a Texas federal court's order that invalidates the Affordable Care Act's promise of free preventive health services to every American with private health insurance. The decision affects any type of services defined or updated by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force in the 13 years that the health-care law has existed. The administration is also expected to seek a stay to prevent the judge's injunction while the case is being appealed.
