Obamacare mandates at stake in Supreme Court arguments - Washington Examiner

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Trump signaled last week that lowering the cost of healthcare, particularly prescription drugs, is a priority for the administration.
48% : Since the initial passage of Obamacare, the USPSTF has implemented 10 different preventive service mandates for a variety of health conditions, according to the left-leaning healthcare think tank KFF.
45% : " If the court rules that the USPSTF's structure violates the Constitution's Appointments Clause, its ability to make binding coverage mandates under the Affordable Care Act could be struck down.
45% : That case law will likely affect Kennedy v. Braidwood, but Hughes says it's impossible to discern exactly how. SUPREME COURT CASE OFFERS TRUMP PATH TO DISMANTLE OBAMACARE MANDATES "The Supreme Court is not predictable, and the trend toward curtailing the role of experts and the administrative state could win the day," Hughes said.
42% : The initial complaint from Braidwood Management in this case argued that coverage of PrEP medications violated the deeply held beliefs of the owner, Steven Hotze, who contended that PrEP is associated with same-sex and extramarital sexual activity, contradicting his Christian convictions and therefore violating the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
30% : Although repealing and replacing Obamacare was a platform plank in President Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and an unrealized agenda item in his first term, this case does not threaten broad portions of the ACA, as past cases did.
