I’m glad “free” contraception was struck down because it trampled religious freedom, but the law was a travesty regardless. To think the federal government has a constitutional right to tell insurance companies they MUST provide certain freebies as a price of doing business. That’s ridiculous.
This is like requiring auto companies to give “free” cars to minorities or McDonalds to hand out “free” Happy Meals to EBT holders as a price of doing business. I understand the reasons for doing so—buying the votes of single women mostly—but the precedent is jaw dropping. What other things can the federal government force businesses to give away in order to stay in business?
The answer, unfortunately, is pretty much what ever the political aristocracy in D.C. wants.
