Kennedy v. Braidwood Management is at least the eighth time the Supreme Court has weighed in on a major element of the ACA since the health law was passed during the Obama administration in 2010 .

If the justices agree with the plaintiffs, the task force and its recommendations for the last 15 years could be thrown out, and insurers could start denying coverage or imposing out-of-pocket costs on dozens of currently free preventive screenings.

Dr. Hotze was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, among other crimes.

He has pleaded not guilty and says the prosecution is part of a conspiracy against him.

Hotze has sued over Obamacare before, challenging the law in 2013 on the grounds that taxation bills must originate in the House , whereas parts of the ACA were first introduced in the Senate .
