[News] Biden Administration appeals federal judge ruling on ACA

On March 31, 2023, US President Joe Biden’s administration appealed the ruling by Texas federal Judge Reed O’Connor on March 30, that said that some mandates in the Affordable Care Act (ACA; popularly called Obamacare), cannot be executed across the USA, including provisions that require insurance providers to cover a spectrum of preventive services at no cost to the patient. These services include preventive treatment for cardiovascular disease and HIV and screening for some cancers, including lung, skin, cervical, and colorectal.
