Sean Hannity hosted a group of inter-faith leaders last night on his program. One of his guests was from the Becket Fund. She mentioned the cost to employers who fail to comply with the HHS mandate.

Employers who violate the HHS mandate, and who thereby fail to provide the coverage HHS deems necessary under Obamacare, incur an annual penalty of roughly $2000 per employee. More precisely, as I understand it, the base penalty is $2000 x (number of full-time employees minus 30), and the base is increased each year by the rate of growth in insurance premiums. So, for example, Belmont Abbey College (one of the two plaintiffs already challenging the HHS mandate), which has 200 full-time employees, is facing an annual base penalty of $340,000. Colorado Christian University (the other plaintiff) has 280 full-time employees and is facing an annual base penalty of $500,000.

Obama is clearly out of his right mind. I wonder if his real motivation is that he wishes someone had made sure his mother used contraception or had an abortion, because his own birth was such a terrible “punishment” for all the adults in his life.
