Not only that, consider that since employer provided healthcare insurance is simply part of the total compensation package what does this ruling allow? Can Hobby Booby now prevent an employee from buying such contraceptives withe her wages? The idea of including health insurance was only introduced to circumvent wage and price controls in the first place. Sorry folks but this dumb misogynistic decision is going to make the Olympic downhill look like a stroll in the park. And we can thank the five old men of SCOTUS for yet another screwup. Surely the line in the Constitution "shall hold their offices during good behavior" (Article III) applies and it is about time to clean house?
