Newswise — In a major decision, the Supreme Court has upheld the authority of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force – a key body that determines which preventive health services must be covered at no cost under the Affordable Care Act.
This ruling safeguards access to critical services like cancer screenings, depression checks, HIV prevention (PrEP), and more – benefiting more than 150 million people with private insurance.
