BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Federal judge rejects ACA preventive care coverage, appeal likely

March 31, 2023 Reprints

A federal judge in Texas who previously ruled to dismantle the Affordable Care Act struck down a narrower but key part of the nation’s health law March 30 that requires most insurers to cover preventive services that include screenings for cancer, diabetes and mental health, the Associated Press reports. Other no-cost services, including HIV screenings, are also affected under the ruling by U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor. Experts cautioned that insurers are unlikely to stop any coverage immediately. The Biden administration was expected to appeal and seek a stay of the ruling.
