Recent Supreme Court rulings are poised to significantly affect healthcare in the U.S.

In Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, the court overturned the Chevron doctrine, curbing the authority of federal agencies like the FDA and CMS. This shift could delay regulatory decisions on drug approvals, Medicare pricing, and nursing home oversight, as courts will no longer automatically defer to agency expertise.

In Moyle v. United States and Idaho v. United States, the court ruled that Idaho hospitals must continue providing emergency abortions if the mother's life is at risk, but it stopped short of broader rulings on abortion rights. Similarly, in FDA v. the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, the court preserved access to the abortion pill mifepristone (Mifeprex) on the basis that the doctors who brought the case didn't actually have the right to sue, known as "standing."

Legal experts warned that these decisions were not true wins for reproductive rights: "Neither case settled the crucial issue of healthcare access presented by medication abortions and emergency medical care."

Join us for an upcoming Instagram Live where experts will discuss the evolving legal landscape shaping healthcare access.
