A northern Texas judge ruled Wednesday that mandatory insurance coverage for PrEP, an HIV prevention medication, violates employers’ religious rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
The two brand names for the reportedly 99 percent effective HIV antiviral, Truvada or Descovy, were granted universal coverage under insurance programs by the federal government in July 2021. Judge Reed O’Conner is a George W. Bush appointee and a conservative standby, known for slapping back at Democratic initiatives.
The judge was notorious for hounding the Affordable Care Act, in which he blocked transgender care and abortion access. Reed also undermined the Navy’s vaccine requirement during the pandemic.
