Summary
The Supreme Court on Monday will hear arguments in Kennedy v. Braidwood, “a case that could strip away insurance coverage for preventive services like cancer screenings, HIV prevention and diabetes medication for millions of Americans.”
Braidwood Management claims covering PrEP “violated its rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.”
The justices will weigh whether the United States Preventive Services Task Force “has the authority to recommend preventive services like PrEP be covered.”
A loss could mean “millions of Americans will be deprived of access to free, effective preventive care,” with “dire” impacts on marginalized groups and public health at large.
As someone who lives in Houston: of course it’s fucking Hotze. A snake oil salesman who runs “wellness centers” and is currently under indictment for hiring a private investigator to look into voter fraud who ended up holding an ac repairman at Gunpoint.
He also released a Techno album critical of the ACA in 2013
He tried to sue Greg Abbot for doing too much during COVID. The greg abbot widely criticized by the rest of the nation for doing very little.

Fuck Steve hotze.
Oh good can’t wait until this predatory healthcare extortion scam gets worse and why is the supreme court ruling on anything if they can’t even get their unanimous decisions enforced?
Sweating bullets
FFS! This country is going down the shitter faster than I could have imagined. Thank organized religion and poor education.
Organized Religions say we should heal the sick.
You haven’t met republican jeebus
Not anymore!
Say im the spotlight while everyone is looking, then preach the opposite and practice causing harm.
If we could trust the religion to do the things Jesus said, this country would have been waaay more progressive than it has been. By miles. Including with healthcare. Cause the largest group against that are also conveniently the largest Christian group.
It’s the working of the Anti Christ
UnChristian things in Christ’s name
Then what wr thought was Christianity and its religious history is now gone and the world’s largest religion just lost sooooooooooo many of its members. Like the vast majority. The entire catholic church? Gone. No longer christian. And instead we have a religion that is one of the world’s largest and has no name. But its still an Abrahamic religion, which then makes this all really confusing.
And all because the minority of Christianity said they no longer consider them Christian
And Im glad all of us who suffered from Christianity can know that you free Christianty from having to take that blame, and instead we get to recognize you as a victim because all this time we blamed your religion.
I’m not a Christian. I just don’t like seeing beneficial ideologies blamed for the acts of loud extremists.
A question is if the task force itself has more power to suggest what is and isn’t covered that the health secretary. Who may in the end even get rid of some of those on the task force, since he’s destroying everything else. This is not going to end well.
At the time, Dr. Steven Hotze, the sole trustee and beneficiary of the Braidwood Management company, said he was unwilling to pay for PrEP or STI screenings for his employees. “They are consequences of a patient’s choice to engage in drug use, prostitution, homosexual conduct, or sexual promiscuity – all of which are contrary to Dr. Hotze’s sincere religious beliefs,” the complaint read.
How about rape, Mr Hotze? Do patients that contract STIs when they are the victims of rape deserve to just suffer even more with STIs after their attack? How about the victims loved ones? Do you expect them to shun the victims of rape if they contracted an STI from it?
Please stop bringing up uncomfortable realities of my policies.
Just listen to my amazing sound bites and don’t forget to smash that like button fellow kids and subscribe to my slay propaganda
