Los Angeles, CA (March 30, 2023) – In response to today’s decision by U.S. District Court Judge Reed O’Connor in Texas to strike down the Affordable Care Act provision requiring employers to cover a range of vital services – including cancer screenings and access to preventive HIV treatments – AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) released the following statement:
“Stripping away access to preventive care will hurt tens of millions of Americans. These services are essential, and eliminating them will have dangerous consequences,” said Michael Weinstein, AHF founder and president. “While we expect this unconstitutional ruling ultimately will fail, the decision creates uncertainty and is a threat to public health.”
