A landmark Supreme Court decision overturns a 1984 precedent, restricting federal agencies' authority, leading to consequences in health policy with courts now using their own judgment in interpreting laws.
Seismic ramifications expected in health policy due to potential flood of litigation challenging regulations, resulting in disparate health regulations across locations and increased uncertainty for patients, providers, and health systems.
Judges may overrule current and future regulations, agencies like FDA to be more cautious, and Congress to take more time on legislation. Legal battles may disrupt patient care and strain healthcare providers.
Challenges to FDA's decisions, such as approving medications for abortion, could be emboldened. Groups might seek partisan judges to counter regulations, creating further instability in the health care system.
