[Vision2020] Hobby Lobby co-pay free birth control options

[Scott Dredge]

The comments about Hobby Lobby are yet again all over the map.   Getting back to basics to hopefully avoid comments like Gary's '42 condoms at Walmart cost about $18', here is the list of 16 of 20 FDA approved birth control options that are available c0-pay free to Hobby Lobby employees:

Male condomsFemale condomsDiaphragms with spermicideSponges with spermicideCervical caps with spermicideSpermicide aloneBirth-control pills with estrogen and progestin (“Combined Pill)Birth-control pills with progestin alone (“The Mini Pill)Birth control pills (extended/continuous use)Contraceptive patchesContraceptive ringsProgestin injectionsImplantable rodsVasectomiesFemale sterilization surgeriesFemale sterilization implants

The 4 remaining FDA approved options of which Hobby Lobby objected are:
Plan B emergency contraception
Ella  emergency contraception
Copper IUD
IUD with progestin

While I don't agree with SCOTUS decision, I can certainly see both sides to this case and ultimately I'm convinced that coverage for FDA approved birth control will be provided through some other means that will absolve (according to SCOTUS) objecting employers.
