"If a company does not care to provide *free contraceptives* to its employees, all it needs to do is . . . shuffle corporate paperwork around, making 
the company appear as family-owned . . . and claim a strongly religious 
foundation."

"The political stakes are large, especially for the future effectiveness of the health law, which marks its fourth anniversary this year.

The botched rollout last fall of HealthCare.gov, the federal Obamacare website, has become another political flashpoint along with other issues that many Republicans say proves the law is unworkable.

They have made Obamacare a key campaign issue in their fight to overtake the Senate, and retain control of the House.

Supporters of the law fear a high court setback on the contraception mandate will lead to other healthcare challenges on religion grounds, such as do-not-resuscitate orders and vaccine coverage. More broadly, many worry giving corporations religious freedom rights could affect laws on employment, safety, and civil rights."

If a company does not care to provide health insurance to its employees, all it needs to do is . . . shuffle corporate paperwork around, making the company appear as family-owned . . . and claim a strongly religious foundation.

Being retired Army, all I can say is . . . Thank God for Tri-Care!
