The U.S. Supreme Court is set to rule on two critical cases that may reshape LGBTQ+ healthcare in the U.S. The decisions in U.S. v. Skrmetti and Kennedy v. Braidwood Management will address whether transgender youth can access necessary gender-affirming care and whether millions will continue to receive no-cost preventive services under the Affordable Care Act. Experts indicate that a ruling against the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force could enable the Trump administration and Republican states to impose restrictive healthcare policies that undermine scientific guidelines and inclusivity in healthcare.
The overturning of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations in these cases could significantly undermine LGBTQ+ healthcare access and ACA coverage mandates.
Experts warn that siding with the plaintiffs may allow the Trump administration to impose ideological restrictions on healthcare, undermining evidence-based preventive services.
