Supreme Court approves Trump plan to limit Obamacare contraceptive coverage

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday cleared the way for the Trump administration to give the nation's employers more leeway in refusing to provide free birth control for their workers.

The ruling was victory for the administration's plan to greatly expand the kinds of employers who can cite religious or moral objections in declining to include contraceptives in their health care plans. Up to 126,000 women nationwide would lose birth control coverage under the plan, the government estimated. Planned Parenthood said nearly nine in 10 women seek contraceptive care of some kind during their lifetimes.

Since Congress passed Obamacare in 2010, the issue of which employers can decline offer contraceptive coverage has remained highly controversial.

Houses of worship and their auxiliaries were originally given an exemption, and a later rule allowed some non-profit religiously affiliated employers an accommodation: They could opt out of directly providing the coverage, as long as they gave notice of their objection. Their insurer or the government would then pick up the cost of the coverage.

1. Fuckers

Corporate Rights are greater than human rights?

[katmondoo]

2. Guys are going to pay for this one day. You may think it is a victory to take away contraceptives

from women and we will not forget. Every male running for office will have to go on record as to where he stands on contraceptives.

[Historic NY]

3. So does that also include the usage for non-birth control problems.

There are many medical problems that a helped with the usage.

[SoonerPride]

4. Yes. The employer can say they object to these medications and women can't get them

It is insanity

[uponit7771]

5. Now employers can opt out of giving cure for cancer, the USSC decision is open and stupid

[Faux pas]

6. If

men got pregnant...

[in2herbs]

7. Biden needs to be pushed to expand the court. Why should I have to consult/ask my

employer whether or not contraception is a covered benefit?

[BannonsLiver]

8. Gee

It would be a real shame if some enterprising journalist started poking around Little Sisters of the Poor (the very profitable catholic charity) and their finances and anything else that might be going on. With an operation that big there’s bound to be some problems.

9. Please donate to Planned Parenthood.

Very important now.

11. 7-2 decision

I just don't understand this.
