And that right there is the problem. In the past mandates always allowed for exemptions on religious grounds. That was understood by all. Now Obama&Co have trashed all that. That's why they're in this mess. They are caught between pro religious groups (of all religions) and the feminists. There is no way to win this. Now they have compromised. Which makes them look weak and unorganized (which they are).However Title VII exempts 4 classes of employers including religious and non-profits....
IIRC, the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act does not exempt non-profit businesses from the requirement of large employers to provide health insurance to employees.

i don't see it as any real compromise....but rather a sleight of hand....
Obama still satisfies his feminist base as contraceptives will now be provided "free" to Church workers by their insurance companies....
Obama thwarts religion and arrogantly walks over business to effectively attain his real goal....that of dictating what is to be....
==========================
You do know that after the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruled that companies that provided prescription drugs to their employees but didn't provide birth control were in violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, around 90% of companies with 15 employees or more complied. So your point is mute.
The point is MOOT, not mute. Look it up. Oh yeah, no it is not moot.

Well, excuuuuuse me!(And thanks for correcting me, I'm serious!)
And yes, healthmyths point about companies having to adopt a new approach is moot, being companies are already taking care of birth control prescription drugs with their health care coverage.

There's no way to prove who's paying the real cost.....it will be hidden under other billings...and premiums will go up for "other" reasons...
Obama pulled a fast one.......he just sidestepped the religious issue and laid the costs ostensibly upon the insurance company......but still everybody will get to pay for the designated "free" contraceptives....Catholic or not....
what the HELL gives Obama the power to dictate that insurance companies must provide "free" contraceptives....?

Because birth control costs less the an abortion or a pregnancy
Does Obama understand how insurance works???
President Obama is scheduled to announce Friday afternoon a revamp of his contraception policy requiring religious institutions to fully pay for birth control, changing the onus on who pays for contraception from employers to insurance companies.

SO let's see how that might work.
