SCOTUS To Hear Appeal Over Obamacare Contraception Mandate

The Supreme Court will hear the Trump administration's appeal to allow more entities to refuse birth control coverage based on moral or religious objections. The Affordable Care Act mandates most employer health plans to cover birth control without cost. The administration seeks to expand opt-out options beyond religious organizations, citing protection of moral beliefs. Critics argue this could deny millions of women preventative care and enable discrimination. The case will be heard in April, with a ruling expected by June.
