The Supreme Court seemed likely to uphold a key preventive-care provision of the Affordable Care Act in a case heard Monday.
Conservative justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, along with the court’s three liberals, appeared skeptical of arguments that Obamacare’s process for deciding which services must be fully covered by private insurance is unconstitutional.
The case could have big ramifications for the law’s preventive care coverage requirements for an estimated 150 million Americans. Medications and services that could be affected include statins to prevent heart disease, lung cancer screenings, HIV-prevention drugs and medication to lower the chance of breast cancer for high-risk women.
Honestly, and my guess is you already know this (and others I see beat me to it), American Conservatives mostly haven’t proposed anything else because the ACA was a conservative policy and was implemented first by Governor Romney in Massachusetts.
It’s hard to get more conservative than policy written by Heritage Foundation economist and implemented by a Mormon Vulture Capitalist.
Also the mask is off now. These mother fuckers don’t give a shit about policy anymore. They’re not passing any laws. Like I see 34 bills passed in 2023 and a handful of them were fluff—what the fuck?
Anyway I agree with you. It’s also very tough to get justices to not vote religiously—sorry I mean with “historical accuracy” in mind.
