Based on today's ruling, Hobby Lobby could conceivably choose to simply have no insurance at all if they feel that they can't get a plan that doesn't include contraception coverage, which the ACA strictly forbids.

...still betcha it's much ado about nothing. IMHO, any insurance company out there will find contraception cheaper than the birth of a child and all the medical care that will entail over the years. I doubt that hobby lobby will be able to find one that does not include birth contraception. Abortion? Well, that's a bit more iffy.

...one thing you are right about though is the 'single payer' system. Personally I don't think the govt should be in the business of providing health insurance, but if it is going to do it, single payer is the way to go. This 'affordable care act' is a clusterfuzzle.

...back when I was a kid there were neighborhood health departments about that poor folks could go to. I got most of my innoculations at the health department. I thought the health department and the public library were great. Public parks are nice too.

Sorry, but that rule only applies to organization run by recognized religions like schools and hospitals. It explicitly exempted for-profit organizations.

Based on today's ruling, Hobby Lobby could conceivably choose to simply have no insurance at all if they feel that they can't get a plan that doesn't include contraception coverage, which the ACA strictly forbids.

BTW, Hobby Lobby has no problems paying for insurance that covers contraception for men, they only object to women having the choice to have children or not.

And the owners of Hobby Lobby have been investing for years in the very companies which produces most of the contraceptions that they claim to object to. When asked about that situation and how seemed to be hypocritical when seen in the light of their objecting to covering contraceptives for their female employees, their claim was that their investment decisions have nothing to with the running of their stores and that they have the right to invest in whichever companies that they choose.
