Wrong. Even mom and pop employer can design a plan that includes coverage for some procedures but excludes coverage for others.



Wrong The Fed has never specified the terms of a Federal Contractor's health plan. The Fed does specify the terms that contractors must abide by, but specific content of a group health plan, or ancillary health plan, has never been on the table.

Also, Federal Contracting rules - those that govern the actual terms of the contract and have an economic impact on the contractor - are typically codified in law, not presidential fiat.

Besides, that ain't Fluke's beef. She wants the government to push employers - ALL employers, not just Federal contractors - to include free contraceptive coverage in their health policies. She wants the government to support reproductive rights and freedoms and all that, dontcha see.

Guess what. It's not presidential fiat. It's part of the health care reform law. Contraceptive coverage is part of the mandatory coverage that must be included in a health care plan. That's the point. The churches, when they are not operating as churches, but as employers providing services in the non-religious marketplace - are wanting an exemption from coverage that is otherwise required of employers. That's the beef.
