They do it all the time. But the real problem is the patient. Elderly patients are forced onto Medicare, and poor people are forced onto Medicaid. Their options will be limited if this ruling stands. For instance, my doctor accepts Medicare (for now) and he practices at Columbia St. Mary's. If I don't want to frequent a hospital that provides abortions, I lose both my hospital and my doctor.

It’s the “catch 22” routine I see. What a diabolical thing our government has become. God help us.
Damned good question, but this is what this regime is demanding. Hey, you are taking government money, you play by government rules. Same as what Indira Ghandi did in India. You really believe that this regime will tolerate any company to do as they want, while they are getting money from the regime? This is what’s going to happen to these Catholic hospitals. The government will take the money away from them and they will be forced to comply, if they want the money back
Mr. K you left one very important thing out...
FIRST they take ( steal ) your money, then they take their ‘’share’’ out then they send you a small percentage of your money back then they threaten to take it away if you dont do what THEY say.
THAT’s why you want the federal government out of EVERYTHING
First they give you money, then they threaten to take it away if you dont do what they say.
Its a mob protection racket on steroids
