In case someone besides me was curious why it was actually struck down...
Judge Reed O’Connor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas said the Affordable Care Act requirement for insurers to cover care and products recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is unconstitutional because members of that panel — 16 volunteers, typically doctors and scientists — were not appointed by the president and approved by the Senate, violating the U.S. Constitution’s appointments clause. O’Connor wrote that two other federal groups – the Health Resources and Services Administration and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices – are allowed to require insurers to cover certain products and services because they were created by the Health and Human Services Secretary, a presidential appointee. HRSA covers a range of women’s health care including contraceptives, while ACIP requires routine vaccinations.
While I'm sure there's a lot of other bureaucratic regulations and laws on the books that are even more unconstitutional and remain unchallenged, if you want this covered the solution is simple.
