This case has a lengthy history, with earlier rulings addressing claims that the preventive services requirements violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). In September 2022, Judge O’Connor ruled that requiring Braidwood to cover PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) to prevent HIV violated RFRA.
Representatives for the federal government and the plaintiffs did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to review the case.
The case is Becerra et al. v. Braidwood Management Inc. et al., case number 24-316, in the U.S. Supreme Court.
