I think the Hobby Lobby ruling was pathetically & arbitrarily limited, ignoring equal protection for those just outside the limits of the ruling's protection. The justices are afraid to attack the unconstitutionality of our entire health care nightmare.

The only logical solution is for businesses to stop offering health insurance as a benefit, & insurance being offered universally to individuals nation wide under a free market system.

If businesses want to offer “cost of living” benefits to employees they are free to do so. Bonuses also serve the same purpose. There is no reason your employer should have any involvement in your health insurance, nor is there any reason your employer would want the cost of administering such a benefit, when it would be far simpler/cheaper to just give each employee a cash benefit, paid monthly.

No, I don't suggest people have to buy insurance from Obamacare. It needs to be repealed immediately. It is part of the problem, not a solution. We need an open market like car insurance, without Federal interference.

It was limited -- that's why they won!

The truth about Hobby Lobby. Although they offer other avenues of contraception to their employees, they would not support the mandated abortion and abortifacients (Morning after pill and other products that destroy an embryo -- already fertilized.).

It's that simple because they are a closely held (family) business that believes and lives their religion in their business. They even play religious music in their stores. (And not just at Christmas!)

God bless them.

PS. This does not apply to corporations, etc. as the libs would have you believe.

You'd have to change the tax laws for that to make any sense. Now, if a corporation gives an employee a cash bonus, the employee pays tax on it, but if the corporation buys the employee health insurance, the employee is not taxed on the cost or value of the insurance.
