Sotomayor, Kagan: Hobby Lobby Should Drop Insurance, Pay Penalty and Let Employees Use Exchange

 

During oral arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday which focused on whether the contraceptive mandate in the Affordable Care Act violates the free exercise of religion, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan suggested employers who have moral objections to birth control should not provide health care coverage for their employees.

“But isn't there another choice nobody talks about, which is paying the tax, which is a lot less than a penalty and a lot less than -- than the cost of health insurance at all?”

  1. Sad that they don't understand that their job is not mediation but to judge the law and it's application in the specific case before them. There are two laws in conflict: Obamacare and freedom of religion. Pick one.

    1. I think I remember reading somewhere that if they lost the case they were going to close their doors. Sorry I can't remember where I read it, it was at the beginning of this mess.
