most employers already provide birth control in health care plans. I think the only new Obama add-on is the no copay.
Insurers will be reaching out and giving it away as a “free gift”. it’s a side deal and a seperate contract.
Some elderly nun needs to come out and give Obama a good stiff RAP over the hands with a RULER!! Just like the good old days ...
No, employers with RELIGIOUS objections do not provide these in their employees insurance plans.
That is the religious freedom issue.
In addition, where does Obama have the authority to order insurance companies to provide these free of charge or otherwise to workers at religion based institutions?
Where does he have the actual Constituional authority to mandate what insurance companies offer, period?
He CLAIMS it under Obamacare.
It certainly isn’t to be found in the Constitution.
The Founders are spinning in their graves.
Apparently, you may not be aware of the details involving employer / employee / insurance provider relationships.
1. Catholic/religious institutions very commonly utilize faith based insurance companies that maintain the same exact practices that the religious entities upholds, and as such, fall under the same conscience clause exemption status.
2. In many cases, as with non-501c3 religious non-profits, the insurance premium is significantly subsidized and as such would force these exempted institutions into paying for services which are deemed immoral.
This is why our Catholic Bishops and other religious leaders have repudiated Obama’s ridiculous “accomodation” attempt.
For someone who thought he knew enough about private health insurance to the point of trying to nationalize it, Obama and his HHS head are completely in over their heads, especially if they think they can dismantle the moral authority of our religious institutions. Typical communist trash.
