Supreme Court to hear ACA preventive coverage suit​


Summarize

By Noah Tong Jan 14, 2025 4:10am
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a lawsuit that will determine whether preventive services will remain fully covered by group health plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Arguments will commence this spring, and a decision (PDF) is expected by July.

Texas-based employer Braidwood Management argued before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals the ACA's preventive services provision is unconstitutional. Initially, Braidwood Management did not want to cover pre-exposure prophylaxis drugs for HIV, saying it violates its rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

That court opted to uphold a lower court’s decision finding coverage through the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) unconstitutional—because the task force is not elected or “politically accountable” yet decide which services are covered—but it overturned a nationwide injunction, mandating plans cover preventive services with cost-sharing until otherwise determined.

If the preventive services provision is eliminated, access to disease screenings, mental health appointments and certain prescription drugs would no longer be covered.

The government petitioned the Fifth Circuit’s ruling, hoping the Supreme Court would not find the USPSTF unconstitutional in determining coverage requirements through the ACA.

“Under the court’s severability doctrine, it would seem they would uphold the role of the task force,” said Epstein Becker Green healthcare attorney Richard Hughes IV in an email shared with Fierce Healthcare. “But SCOTUS is not predictable and the trend toward curtailing the role of experts and the administrative state could win the day.”

Overturning of the Chevron deference in June is a flagship example of the nation’s top legal arbiters seemingly siding against federal agencies, and Republicans are hoping a series of recent decisions foreshadow future favorable rulings.

“Another likely factor that will impact the case's outcome is whether the government maintains its position in support of the USPSTF following the upcoming change in administration,” added Hughes.

It’s possible the federal government will not remain in favor of the preventive services coverage requirement now that President-elect Donald Trump, a longtime opponent of the ACA, is retaking the White House.

Supreme Court justices will not determine whether the Department of Health and Human Services appropriately set guidelines for the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), though that issue was sent back to a lower court in June. Plaintiffs claimed the ACIP and the HRSA were not delegated the authority to set guidelines.

Venteur, an individual coverage health reimbursement arrangement (ICHRA) administrator, suggests there is opportunity for ICHRAs to “reimagine how preventive services are covered” if the Supreme Court rules against the government, the company said in a LinkedIn post.

Skeptics of the ACA preventive services provision say these services are not truly free and ultimately lead to higher premiums for all Americans.

“Your auto insurance doesn’t pay for oil changes," said Stacy Mays, founder and CEO of healthcare advisory firm Copeland Road Health Ventures. “Prevention is positive, but it doesn't fit the definition of insurance.”

In October, the Biden administration proposed a rule requiring health plans to cover over-the-counter contraceptives for free, without cost sharing. The rule has not been finalized. Another proposed rule, which would have made it more difficult for health plans to claim a religious or moral exemption with regards to contraception, was rescinded by HHS in late December.

For those wondering where Vice President-Elect JD Vance is.

He is working behind the scenes getting everything setup to kick in Project 2025.

Isn’t it interesting that we have not heard the Corporate News Media mention Project 2025 since the election?

But we have heard plenty of the Orange Moron and Elon Musk running their mouths on complete foolishness.

It’s the Ol’ “Don’t Look Over Here…Look Over There” trick.

JD Vance’s Ties To Project 2025 Explained Ahead Of Tonight’s VP Debate

Project 2025 is a blueprint for the next conservative administration—namely a Trump presidency—developed by the Heritage Foundation with support from other right-wing organizations, which has primarily gained attention for its 900-page policy roadmap proposing wide-reaching and controversial changes to every aspect of the executive branch.

…Vance, however, openly has close ties with the Heritage Foundation and its founder Kevin Roberts, who told reporters the organization was privately “really rooting” for Vance to be the VP pick and told Politico in March that the senator “is absolutely going to be one of the leaders — if not the leader — of our movement.”…

The immigration process need to be more stream lined. Hopefully, if this country doesn't go to shit . A real president for the people can get elected. And make that happen. It's a damn shame people pay upwards tens of thousands dollars to become legalized, in legal fees .
