Steven Hotze, a Texas Republican donor and physician, has a longstanding track record of opposing LGBTQ+ rights. His latest legal battle—a lawsuit against the federal government's requirement for healthcare plans to cover PrEP, an essential HIV prevention medication—could have far-reaching consequences. The case, now before the Supreme Court, raises serious concerns about healthcare access for LGBTQ+ individuals. Advocates warn that a ruling in Hotze's favor may not only restrict access to PrEP but also jeopardize a wide range of preventive services that benefit millions, reflecting deep-seated discrimination under the guise of religious beliefs.
"It's about cutting off people's care based on them being gay or substance users or living their lives in a way the plaintiffs do not approve of."
"Preventive healthcare saves lives, and this case is about whose lives we consider worth protecting."
