United States of Care Joins 34 other Health Advocacy and Public Health Organizations in an Amicus Brief to the Supreme Court in Support of Cost-Free Coverage of Preventive Services

Earlier today, United States of Care joined 34 other organizations voicing their support for continued cost-free coverage of preventive care services in an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in the Braidwood Management, Inc. v. Becerra court case. The amicus brief highlights the importance of free access to these services, such as cancer screenings and HIV prevention medication, and how they improve health outcomes by reducing the incidence and severity of many decisions and conditions. If the courts rule against the no-cost mandate, fewer people will seek this form of care, cause confusion amongst patients, and exacerbate health disparities.

The brief encourages the Supreme Court to take up this case to ensure that people maintain access to these services nationwide. Should the Supreme Court do so, a decision is expected no later than July 2025.
