Preventive Services Hub
The Affordable Care Act’s preventive services mandate requires most private health plans to provide people with access to preventive services – including cancer screenings, immunizations, contraception, and behavioral health assessments – at no cost.
Kennedy v. Braidwood (the case formerly known as Braidwood v. Becerra), a lawsuit currently before the Supreme Court, seeks to challenge the mandate by threatening to eliminate free access to critical preventive care services for more than 150 million people, including approximately 37 million children.

Earlier this year, the Supreme Court announced it planned to take up the Kennedy v. Braidwood court case. Oral arguments followed in April, with a final decision expected in late June or early July.
We urge the Court to continue to support the no-cost mandate and ensure that people have the care they need when they need it.
