US Supreme Court to Hear Clash Over Obamacare Preventive Care

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : U.S. Supreme Court is set on Monday to consider the legality of a provision of the Obamacare law, formally called the Affordable Care Act, that helps ensure that health insurers cover preventive medical care such as cancer screenings at no cost to patients.
47% : In a Supreme Court filing, the plaintiffs argued that the Affordable Care Act has transformed the longstanding task force from an advisory body into one that now issues "decrees" to insurers, adding that the HHS secretary has no authority to stop task force recommendations from becoming binding law.
44% : The federal government has appealed a lower court's determination that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which under Obamacare has a major hand in choosing what services will be covered, is composed of members who were not validly appointed.
