Supreme Court endorses Obamacare panel that requires free preventive care

  • What? SCOTUS made a good ruling supporting the ACE? Sweet!

    The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a challenge to an Affordable Care Act provision that set up a panel to recommend preventive care services that insurers must provide at no cost to patients.

    The court, split 6-3, ruled in favor of the Trump administration, which was defending the law, saying the task force members are lawfully appointed under the Constitution's appointments clause.

    What? Trump is defending Obamacare? I know, he's like his cultists. He thinks Obamacare and the ACA are two different things and he accidentally did a good thing in defending the ACA.

    The task force members are under the supervision of the health and human services secretary, a position held by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which addresses any concerns that it is not accountable to the executive branch

    Oh, now I get it. It's not a good ruling. This panel under RDK recommends preventative care that insurers have to cover 100% of the cost of. Say so long to reasonable recommendations for vaccines and annual check ups. But hey, at least insurers will have to 100% cover Ivermectin, Vitamin A and Cod Liver Oil.
