Texas District Court Blocks Enforcement of ACA's Preventive Health Services Requirements (in Part), Including PrEP | Practical Law
In ongoing litigation under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a Texas district court has vacated all agency actions to implement or enforce the preventive health services coverage mandates based on "A" or "B" recommendations from the US Preventive Services Task Force and issued on or after March 23, 2010. The court also held that the coverage mandate for preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) drugs to prevent HIV infections violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA).
