Judge’s ruling undercuts US health law’s preventive care

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 05:24:39 GMT

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — 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 Thursday in a decision that opponents say could jeopardize preventive screenings for millions of Americans.The ruling by U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor comes more than four years after he ruled that the health care law, sometimes called “Obamacare,” was unconstitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court later overturned that decision.His latest ruling is likely to start another lengthy court battle: O’Connor blocked the requirement that most insurers cover some preventive care such as cancer screenings, siding with plaintiffs who include a conservative activist in Texas and a Christian dentist who opposed mandatory coverage for contraception and an HIV prevention treatment on religious grounds.O’Connor wrote in his opinion that recommendations for preventive care by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force we...

Stakes high when Man City faces Liverpool in Premier League

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 05:24:39 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — It’s nothing new for a game between Manchester City and Liverpool to have significant implications on the Premier League title race.On Saturday, however, the meeting between English soccer’s two most dominant teams in recent years takes on a different complexion.For current champion City, anything other than a win at Etihad Stadium would give Premier League leader Arsenal the chance to extend its lead and move ever closer to its first league title in 19 years. Arsenal leads City by eight points heading into the final stretch of the season, having played one game more.For Liverpool, any hopes of challenging at the top disappeared long ago in a troubled campaign, blighted by injuries and inconsistent form. But the team coached by Jurgen Klopp can still have a major say on the title race in its games against City this weekend and Arsenal next month.The priority for the Merseyside club, however, is to secure a top-four finish and, with it, qualification ...
