Supreme Court backs no-cost preventive care panel

Jul 1, 2025

The Supreme Court has upheld the legal authority of a federal health task force that recommends preventive services which must be covered without out-of-pocket costs under the Affordable Care Act. 

Details: The ruling in Kennedy v. Braidwood Management confirms the constitutionality of the role of the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) within HHS. 

  • The USPSTF issues recommendations that require insurance coverage for cancer screenings and other diseases.
  • The 6–3 decision maintains the authority of the USPSTF to recommend preventive services for coverage at no cost to patients.

The bottom line: The ruling preserves a cornerstone of the ACA, ensuring continued access to preventive services without financial barriers.
