The Biden administration on Friday appealed a Texas federal judge's decision to strike down free Obamacare coverage of preventive health-care services ranging from screenings for certain cancers and diabetes to HIV prevention drugs.

U.S. Judge Reed O'Connor of the U.S. Northern District Court of Texas on Thursday struck down an Obamacare mandate requiring most private insurance plans to cover certain types of health care recommended an independent panel of experts called the Preventive Services Task Force.

"Preventive care is an essential part of health care: it saves lives, saves families money, and improves our nation's health," said Kamara Jones, a Health and Human Services spokesperson, on Thursday evening after the judge's ruling. "Actions that strip away this decade-old protection are backwards and wrong."

They have to appeal. This is a stupid decision.

1. I am more than sure this will be appealed. It's an awfully stupid ruling. nt

[TheRickles]

4. And it was based on a technicality about how the Task Force members were chosen, IIRC.

[Harker]

2. I clench up when I see "A Texas judge has ruled..."

The disloyal opposition is running rampant.

[JohnSJ]

3. Yes, the decision is insane.

5. Imagine If "Church Of Christ-Scientists" Prevailed In Such A Manner... There Would Be No Healthcare

The Christian Science Tradition Religious Beliefs and Healthcare Decisions

FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS CONCERNING
HEALTH CARE

"Christian Scientists believe that all illness and
suffering are ultimately illusory. Obviously,
Scientists feel sick and experience disease as
others do, but they believe illness results from a
mistaken view of the nature of reality, indicating a
need for spiritual renewal. One prominent
Christian Scientist has framed the issue in this
way:

"This [understanding] does not deny that within a
strictly physical framework of causation, certain
conclusions are warranted—for example, that many
infections have a bacterial origin. And a Christian
Scientist would not presume to question the accuracy from a medical standpoint of a competent
diagnosis. What a Christian Scientist does question
is the physical framework of causation itself . . . To
take a medical analogy, a Christian Scientist
regards all forms of disease as symptomatic of an
underlying condition that needs to be healed. This
is the healing, or spiritual wholeness, that he or
she seeks to effect through prayer."

No matter the name, assholes and turds all stink the same.

May reason rule.

6. Fucking insane. The law was passed 13 years ago and these bastards are still trying to kill it.

7. Easy solution is to raise all corporate taxes to 50% with the only tax deductions based around both

amount of pay all their employees are given as well as the heath benefits they are given.
