Laissez-faire capitalist:

Your issue admits of a plain and simple answer.

Whether an employer objects to paying insurance premiums for employees for surgical abortions, abortifacients, any form of "birth control" whatsoever, blood transfusions, prescription medications costing more than $4 a month, medical marijuana, nursing home care, hospitalization or name your medical care of concern, a conservative of any stripe (traditionalist or libertarian or whatever) should readily concede that the problem is Obozocare itself or any similar plan (Romneycare? Schmuckie Chewmer care?),

On what basis does Congress possibly claim authority to mandate upon employers at employer expense or otherwise a scheme of such medical "insurance," one size fits all or otherwise?

SCOTUS ought to drop the facade of this "law" being somehow justified as a "tax" or constitutional in any way.

Let's also, as a matter of policy, and assuming that the law somehow survives, are morally conservative employers to be required to pay for "gender reassignment surgery?" Sterilizations? Euthanasia? Employers MAY OFFER these coverages and more, to their hearts' content and to the limit of the employers' ability to pay all or part of the premiums. Or not, as the employer sees fit.

I can imagine the passage of legislation requiring employers to give full disclosure to prospective and current employees of any employer provided medical insurance or other insurance. That is an anti-fraud measure and may guide the employee in whether to seek employment elsewhere, as available.

This scheme of liberty is also known as..... laissez faire capitalism.

Well in all truth, minimum wage laws works the same way...we allow government to dictate a minimum compensation standard else you can not employ that person. I don’t agree but I do understand how one could argue the case

The even more Laissez-Faire Capitalist answer is: if you don't like that a company will not provide the birth control options that you want: then go work somewhere else.

If a company adheres to the SCOTUS ruling (as Fuzz was massively correct on in post #16) and says, basically, that vasectomies are an abhorrence to their personally held religious views: then go work somewhere else.

If you don't like that a company doesn't have an EBP: go work somewhere else.

Thus, you now truly know the scheme of liberty.

We don't need Obamacare, but we don't need the SCOTUS ruling either. The law of the land should be: if you don't like it, go work somewhere else.
