Win for Reproductive Rights in Employment Insurance

Many faith-based employers object to ACA mandates for health insurance plans that provide for contraception. To get around burdening their religious belief, HHS regulations require employers who have these objections to notify their insurance company or HHS. These outside parties then take over responsibility to provide coverage to employees who want it.

The Little Sisters of the Poor lost their lawsuit before a federal appeals court yesterday. The opinion says that the new regulation “relieves them from complicity,” adding: “Shifting responsibility to provide coverage away from the plaintiffs relieves rather than burdens their religious exercise,” according to Judge Matheson.
