that's avoiding the issue here. the fact is that employers DO have to provide a healthcare plan to their employees. so you need to address what type of offering is needed. you seem to be in agreement with all of my scenarios...that's alarming. some nutbag business owner can dictate that jesus can heal me when I get sick?

the comparison is perfectly valid for the EXACT reasons I cited, this is a slippery slope. this abortion pill thing is a smokescreen for the opportunities this opens, I couldn't care less about the abortion pills. my concern is what other types of religious challenges will obtain.

Bolded.  Shouldn't THAT be what alarms you?  You're willing to overlook the root of the problem to address a "slippery slope"?

It is a slippery slope, I agree.... but speration of church and state is a lot easier when then state keeps its nose out of shit it shouldn't be in (in the first place).

 

Bold 2.  This is not a disease, it's a preventative measure for RECREATION.  But still, I agree slippery slope.  The best fix is to not force ANY insurance on anyone, and certainly not force it to be tied to an employer.  That way you can get an insurance plan that fits your needs.  Some include emergencies only (20s), some add preventative care (40s), and some even add preventative recreational measures, etc.  Free market!



I thought I was pretty clear about this. it's kinda like saying "man, I can't believe I have to pay taxes on my wages" since 19XX, wages weren't considered income prior to war times. it's a moot point, it's established already. same with healthcare at this point (or pay a fine as that dude said). essentially, the ruling is contingent upon the establishment of healthcare offerings, so why are you arguing about the foundation? makes no sense. I am in absolute agreement, healthcare should have nothing to do with your employer, but that is the world we live in so there is no point using that as a justification for this decision.

it's like I said already, I have no issue with non-coverage on these types of pills one bit, my concern is deep, it's the precedent that seems to have been put forth that could allow for a theocratic healthcare system.
