Washington Post:
Seeking to allay the concerns of Catholic leaders,President Obama on Friday announced an adjustment to its health-care rule requiring religiously affiliated employers to provide contraceptive coverage to women.
Women still will be guaranteed coverage for contraceptive services without any out-of-pocket cost, but will have to seek the coverage directly from their insurance companies if their employers object to birth control on religious grounds.
How is this an accommodation? Employees of the church will go to the same insurance company that their employer, the church, uses to receive "free" birth control that is paid for by the customers of the insurance company, the churches included.
Can a church choose a different insurance company that does not dispense contraceptives? No. All insurance companies will be subject to this decree, therefore churches will have no options.
This is ObamaCare.
