Introduction

In healthcare, all medical practitioners have obligation to abide by all rules, laws, and regulations of healthcare. In the United States, every state has rules or regulations, which provide guidance in the medical practice. However, there are several cases before the judges, which may change the healthcare provision in the United States. The pending cases are Texas V Azar, free contraceptive coverage and West Alabama Women’s Center vs. Miller CITATION Kat18 \l 1033 (Keith, 2018). These cases are before Supreme Court judges and the decisions, which would be made is likely to affect the provision of healthcare services across the country.

The cases, Texas V Azar, are the case taken to Supreme Court by a group of Republic and the attorney general to seek to invalidate the entire healthcare law. The group is making an argument that the law no longer viable because the Congress had eliminated the penalty on people without health coverage. According to the group since there is no penalty, it is needless to have healthcare policy CITATION Noa18 \l 1033 (Levey, 2018). The result of the case is important because it could end up stripping millions of Americans their healthcare coverage. The federal court in Texas is one of the most conservative courts and it is likely to rule in favor of the governors and this will definitely affect millions of people by denying them the healthcare, which most people need.

However, the other essential pending cases are free contraceptive coverage and West Alabama Women V Miller. The free contraceptive is about women pills, which Trump administration had proposed to abolish funding and therefore, the court case against the administration action may go either way CITATION Meg18 \l 1033 (Thielking, 2018). This is likely to affect women across the country. If it goes in favor of the government, it means women would not access free contraceptive, which has been the case in the previous years. It is important to state that Texas V Azar, Free contraceptive and Alabama women V Miller are some of the notable cases, which are likely to affect the healthcare provision in the country.
