The Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear a challenge to ObamaCare brought by a Virginia-based Christian university, ending for now one of the biggest remaining legal fights against the health care law.
The justices, in turning away the lawsuit from Liberty University and leaving in place a federal appeals court ruling dismissing it, did not comment on their decision. The decision comes less than a week after the high court agreed to hear a challenge from Hobby Lobby and one other company to the law's so-called contraception mandate -- the requirement on most employers to provide access to contraceptive coverage.

[It is completely reasonable to consider the long, documented history of Catholic involvement in socialism, unionism and Democratic Partyism in this country, all of which are promoters of abortion, birth control, promiscuity, homosexuality and other moral outrages that contradict church teaching. Take a look at the many ostensibly Catholic universities like Georgetown, with its Saudi-funded “Muslim-Christian Understanding” institute, its “Sex Positive” week of filth on campus, its co-ed dorms and feminist faculty walking off the commencement platform in a huff when the invited speaker lauded the traditional family and decried the increasing acceptance of sexual immorality such as homosexualty — and that was over a decade ago.]
The truth will set you free, as Lord Jesus stated. You are speaking the truth here.
I would very much appreciate it if you would ping me when you do the more complete post...
Thank you.
Are the employers actually mandated to BUY their employees coverage, or just offer it. In other words, is there a requirement for employers to pay all or part of their employees health insurance premiums, or just offer their workers a group plan into which they can buy?

A late response to your posting, but it is certainly food for thought. I wonder if the Declaration of Independence would have been supported in 1776 had it been put to a vote of all residents of the 13 colonies of at least 18 years of age, including women. The Declaration was made by a group of representatives who spoke on behalf of a limited group of landholding, while males 21 years of age or over. The vote of women alone (many of whom would have opposed war out of the protective mother instinct) might have been fatal to any hope of armed resistance to Britain. A modern day revolution may have to proceed without the benefit of majority support in the population.
