Only here they don't say "it won't actually be Medicare", they say "we're gonna TRANSFORM Medicare into something ELSE."

A/k/a, progress.

The Religious Exemption Rule will be another juvenile delinquent to cause problems in health care coverage, a serious trinitarian pathology, 666 kuklos exothen:

'The court will face another Establishment Clause test, which it will predictably fail, in a year or so when it confronts the Trump administration's Religious Exemption Rule. The rule grants employers who have religious objections to birth control to opt-out from the Affordable Care Act's mandate to cover contraception in the employee health plan. The rule represents a metastasis from the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision in 2014, which granted an exemption on the understanding that female employees would get their birth control coverage directly from the employer's insurance carrier. But the Trump rule offers no such workaround. Women with the misfortune to work for anti-contraception employers will become second-class citizens, their statutory right to full health care benefits sacrificed to protect the boss from complicity in the sin of birth control.

Two federal district courts have issued injunctions to bar the rule from taking effect, based on faulty administrative procedure rather than on constitutional grounds. The cases are now at the court of appeals level. In the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, 14 leading scholars of the Constitution's religion clauses have filed a brief arguing that the rule manifests unconstitutional "religious favoritism," an "unyielding preference for religious interest over any conceivable secular interest," while shifting "serious burdens to third parties."
