Finally

In other words, the Catholic Church. Are insurance plans that don't cover contraception sterilization and abortifactants cheaper? I have no idea, but I'd assume they are, since they provide fewer services. |

This might be right if the insurance company was just providing insurance. Insurance involves some risk. There is no insurance/risk here, this is a straight unfunded mandate give-away-on-demand-program. |

Geaux Tigers!

I don't know about you, but I look at both salary and benefits before taking a job. You want health coverage that covers contraception? Go to work for someone besides the Catholic Church. This ain't rocket surgery. |

How is having 10 kids failing NFP? It sounds like they are massively successful. |

It also forces Catholic insurance companies to pay for items that are against their religious practice, as well as other Catholic companies to pay premiums that cover these items -- hence a 1st amendment issue. Edited by ivorythumper, Feb 11 2012, 10:17 AM.

Yeah, its not wrong in that both statements are true, but is misleading since they're unrelated. Kind of like: 1. The Church funds clinics. 2. Clinics provide abortions. Its true, but misleading. |

Does the Church and the insurance companies have the option to just not offer prescription coverage? Not a good option for many, but then they aren't forced to do anything. Maybe this is simply Mr. Obama's way of eliminating competition for his own brand of health insurance. |

Yes different kinds of insurance, the church can buy insurance that respects their medieval view about contraception, the one rejected by substantially all of their parishioners, if polls are to be believed. |
