The Supreme Court appeared poised to uphold the preventive care provision of the Affordable Care Act, as justices heard arguments in a key healthcare case Monday. This comes as the Trump administration is planning to gut public health programs in its new budget, imposing a $40 billion cut to the Department of Health and Human Services. The administration’s proposal, which must be approved by Congress, would also consolidate a number of health department functions under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s new “Administration for a Healthy America,” or AHA. Among the proposed cuts are programs addressing gun violence, youth violence prevention, minority health and rural health initiatives. Connecticut Democrat Rosa DeLauro warned the Trump administration's proposal would “surrender Americans to preventable disease and premature death.”
