A federal appeals court in New Orleans ruled that a group of employers can exclude coverage for certain types of preventive care, including HIV prep and some cancer screenings, from their health insurance plans. The court's narrow ruling applies only to the specific employers who challenged the requirements, stating that they cannot be forced to provide no-cost coverage. This decision does not affect insurers' obligation to cover preventive services nationwide, except for the original plaintiffs who objected to the coverage requirement. The court found the coverage requirement for HIV prevention to be unconstitutional and has sent the case back to a lower court for further resolution.

Debt collectors have a limited time to file a lawsuit against you, typically ranging from three to six years, depending on the type of debt and the statute of limitations in your state. Once this time period passes, debt collectors can no longer sue you for the debt, but they can still attempt to collect payment. It's important to understand the impact of time-barred debts on your credit score, how the statute of limitations starts, and how to handle revival of time-barred debts. Each state has its own statute of limitations based on the type of debt, and it's recommended to handle debts responsibly to improve your financial health.
