Doesn’t it make sense that the Obamacare rule that Catholic hospitals must provide contraceptive services is a logical, direct extension of the philosophy of the Individual Mandate?

Is they can make you purchase health insurance there’s no limit to what they can make you do. This is just the beginning....

It's worse than that. It's the right of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius (or any sec of HHS) to dictate guidelines (this was one of them) -- power provided to her by ObamaCare.

Indeed it is.

Yes, and there is also a mandate on the health insurers...they must offer policies under the direction of HHS. They are told all the particulars of what they must offer.

I would like to know what power the constitution gives them to mandate what private businesses offer their customers, just as well as wanting to know what power they claim to mandate customer purchases.

If this is supposedly under the Interstate Commerce Clause, then our country was founded on something the Founders knew not, even though they did the founding.

I have a word for what is being done in the name of Obamacare:

FASCISM.

Exactly. But strangely enough Muslims do not have to purchase health care because it’s against their religion. I read an article yesterday that said Muslim owned businesses and individuals get a pass because their religion feels it’s similar to gambling to purchase an insurance policy.

Against both religions but only 1 religion gets a pass.

First you mandate CORPORATIONS have to buy then you move to individuals. Remember most corporations have just one employee. The owner.

(s)there must be a constitutional right to be employed by a catholic entity/s)
