BREAKING: Appeals court finds Obamacare pillar unconstitutional in suit over HIV-prevention drug
🧵: I report for NBC: If the Supreme Court ultimately takes the case and overturns the pillar, this could have a big impact on out-of-pocket costs for many preventive tests and interventions, including for the HIV-prevention pill, known as PrEP.
