Question regarding Catholic Church upset about ACA...

Catholic Church claiming Obamacare a violation of their right to practice religion by requiring the availability of reproductive services.

Question-
Does healthcare in Europe, Canada, Australia where there are single payer systems require the availability of these services?

If so, did the Catholic Church cry a river in those places too?

Would be the government paying for it (via taxes), which is different than ACA, which in this case, makes the employer pay for it.

Different animals.
