Federal Appeals Court Temporarily Reinstates ACA Preventive Care Requirements

A Texas federal judge struck down portions of the Affordable Care Act related to preventive care and HIV treatment coverage mandates.
The Biden administration appealed the ruling and requested a stay to avoid nationwide impact.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit granted a partial stay, allowing most preventive services to remain mandated without cost-sharing.
Eliminating the preventive services mandate could have life-threatening consequences, while evidence shows it currently saves lives.
The ruling is paused as the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals considers the Biden administration's appeal.
