"Religiously-affiliated hospitals or universities or NGOs simply have to attest that they have a religious objection, in which case they are not required to provide contraception, although that employees of theirs who choose are able to obtain it through the insurance company.”

The correct statement: "Religiously-affiliated hospitals or universities or NGOs simply have to attest . . . employees of theirs who choose are able to obtain it through the insurance company at the employer's expense since costs are always passed through to the payer.”

"...at the employer's expense since costs are always passed through to the payer.”
