Appeals Court Rules ACA Preventive Task Force Unconstitutional

The decision narrows the impact to plaintiffs, maintaining PrEP coverage for most Americans while setting the stage for potential Supreme Court review.

The Fifth Circuit Court found the ACA's preventive care task force unconstitutional but limited the ruling's scope to the plaintiffs.
Insurance coverage for HIV-prevention drug PrEP remains intact for the majority of Americans.
The ruling could lead to future legal challenges affecting broader preventive care mandates.
Public health experts warn that invalidating the task force's authority could hinder HIV prevention efforts.
The case is expected to progress to the Supreme Court, raising significant constitutional questions.
