Why should any employer be forced by law to provide any type of health insurance at all or, if they do, to cover anything in particular?

Why doesn't the government just subsidize birth control directly? Problem solved...

However that decision should rest with me alone as the business owner.
So, you are OK with an employer who uses his "beliefs" to justify his refusal to provide any kind of insurance for his employees.

Well no, the amendment addressess mandating any specific coverage the emplyer finds inconsistent with their conscience, not just birth control. So, this is not about pushing any moral value on anyone except the government pushing its secular humanist/Marxist value of "social justice" on employers with complete disregard for the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution.

Ummm...what about female employers who don't want to have to cover birth control?

Regardless, even many women who would support requiring employers to cover birth control realize that there's more than one issue out there. If the Republicans better represent their interests in general, of course they're going to vote for them.

Why doesn't the government just become the health insurance provider for all?

Why should an employer be required to provide insurance?

If employers were not allowed to provide insurance, costs would go DOWN because people would see how much insurance really cost and would demand that the insurance companies get their costs in line.

Kind of the same thing as the RPh's one hears of occasionally refusing to fill scrips for the pill based on their "beliefs".

Absolutely. If you don't like working for that type of employer go work somewhere else.

Because Americans favor the free market and don't want the government to dictate what kind of health care they can receive.
