Three liberal and three conservative justices got together to make the correct decision in this case.

From AI:
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Kennedy v. Braidwood with a decision authored by Justice Kavanaugh and joined by Justices Roberts, Sotomayor, Kaga, Barrett and Jackson. Justice Thomas authored a dissent, joined by Alito and Gorsuch.
Kennedy v. Braidwood Management, Inc. is a case that challenges whether the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (Task Force) is authorized to issue binding recommendations that require private health insurance companies to cover certain preventive services with no copayments or coinsurance for covered individuals5. The case was argued before the Supreme Court of the United States in 20253. The issue at stake is whether the structure of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force violates the Constitution's appointments clause and whether the statutory provision that insulates the task force from the Health & Human Services secretary's supervision is undue1. Braidwood Management, Inc. challenges lawful provisions that have been critical to addressing barriers to preventive care2.

I am very glad that the HHS Secretary does not have authority over the committee that determines which preventive care services should be covered by insurance.

There are many preventive services that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has indicates he disapproves of, and the idea that he might undermine the health of our citizens by appointing people who think similarly to this committee would scare me to death.

This committee should make medical decisions based on their medical expertise, free from politics.

This year's decisions were a mixed bag, but this is definitely a highlight. Goodness, Thomas and Alito are the worst. They end up on the wrong side of everything. ^_^
