 Judge rejects ObamaCare preventive health coverage requirement

A federal judge in Texas on Thursday struck down an ObamaCare requirement that insurance plans cover preventive health care such as cancer and diabetes screenings and pregnancy care. The provision also called for insurance plans to cover certain drugs, like those for HIV prevention. The ruling could mark a major setback for President Biden's so-called cancer moonshot goal of using early screenings to sharply reduce cancer rates. Judge Reed O'Connor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas said the Affordable Care Act mandate violated the Constitution's appointments clause, because the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's members were not presidential appointees confirmed by the Senate.
