The U.S. Justice Department is appealing a decision by U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth, Texas, that blocked the federal government from enforcing requirements that insurance plans cover preventive care, including screenings for certain cancers and pre-exposure prophylaxis against HIV (PrEP). Reuters reports that if the judge’s ruling is not paused or overturned on appeal, insurers will be able to charge patients copays and deductibles for such services in new insurance plans.
