WASHINGTON, D.C. – (March 30, 2023) – Matt Eyles, President and CEO of AHIP, issued this statement following the decision in Braidwood v. Becerra in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas:
“Every American deserves access to high-quality affordable coverage and health care, including affordable access to preventive care and services that help avoid illnesses and other health problems. As we review the decision and its potential impact with regard to the preventive services recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force, we want to be clear: Americans should have peace of mind there will be no immediate disruption in care or coverage.
“We fully expect that this matter will continue on appeal, and we await the federal government’s next steps in the litigation, as well as any guidance from relevant federal agencies.”
