A federal lawsuit pending in the Northern District of Texas seeks to overturn the Affordable Care Act’s preventive services coverage requirement, and could reduce access to life-saving care for the estimated 167.5 million people covered under ACA-compliant health plans.
Access to preventive services like cancer screenings, vaccinations, and contraception plays a key role in advancing public health. If the ACA's preventive services coverage requirement is overturned, millions could lose access to no-cost preventive healthcare.
