WASHINGTON (April 21, 2025)–For more than a decade, Americans have been getting preventive health care like mammograms or other screenings free of charge due to the Affordable Care Act.
Today, the Supreme Court will hear a challenge to this law in the case of Kennedy v. Braidwood Management.
If the Supreme Court strikes down the provision in the ACA that guarantees free preventive care, some Americans would likely have trouble accessing it.
The George Washington University has experts available to comment on the Braidwood case. GW experts along with the American Public Health Association and others filed a public health amicus brief that urges the High Court to uphold the preventive care provision of the Affordable Care Act.
