A new report presents the most detailed evidence to date regarding the potential effects on mothers and children of Braidwood Management v Becerra, which challenges the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act’s comprehensive free preventive benefit guarantee for nearly all privately insured people.
“The plaintiffs in this case insist that to satisfy their personal preference for more limited coverage, virtually all Americans, including millions of mothers, infants and children, must lose theirs,” said Sara Rosenbaum, co-author of the report and Emerita Professor of Health Policy and Management at GW Milken Institute School of Public Health. “Their demands are not only legally unnecessary but unconscionable.”
The report, “Braidwood Management v Becerra Could Eliminate Three Quarters of the Affordable Care Act’s Preventive Benefits for Women, Infants, and Children,” was authored by the Geiger Gibson Program in Community Health at GW Milken Institute School of Public Health.
