A federal judge in Texas on Thursday struck down a part of Obamacare that requires insurers to cover cancer screenings and other preventive services for free.
U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor, presiding in Fort Worth, had ruled in September that a mandate requiring coverage of pre-exposure prophylaxis against HIV, or PrEP drugs, violated religious freedom.
Thursday’s action blocked the government from enforcing the coverage mandates, reinvigorating the Obamacare wars and signaling that another case against the Affordable Care Act could reach the Supreme Court. The latest case was brought by Texas individuals and businesses, including Christians who opposed covering HIV drugs, contraception, the HPV vaccine and the screenings and behavioral counseling for sexually transmitted diseases and drug use.
