Supreme Court has agreed to take up the provision Obamacare which mandates
private
employers who are covered by Obamacare to include contraceptive coverage
for what now the argument against it is is that that somehow contraception
morley offend some people
I will try not to be overly disparaging in dismissing that argument I get that
some people feel that way
but this is a healthcare and the fact is I think that
ultimately so many of us believe that if you gonna provide health care for your
employees you don't get to pick and choose what kinda health care they get
if they want to use that for contraceptive coverage in contraceptive
coverage sort of
helps us all makes the country better stronger more practical more responsible
and gives women choice to run their lives the way they see pit which seems
like a pretty good idea
but I I fail to see what could possibly be wrong with that but there are some
who do and the supreme court's get your greedy here a two cases
one from a a cracked chain store called the Hobby Lobby
the Hobby Lobby a has actually
wanna case with the helped circuit now the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals
by is in like a Utah and Kansas
and the most Oklahoma Colorado
are Wyoming so that part of the country sort of agreed with the Hobby Lobby that
they don't have to do that but
however the Third Circuit Court of Appeals
arm a defeated a case brought by the
Kona still go wood specialties I don't know what they are either
um it sounds like the color still go with specialties might make things
that the Hobby Lobby would sell job but I don't know
anyway the constable wood specialties they lost their case with the third
circuit
Third Circuit the third circuit is a Delaware New Jersey and a lot of
Pennsylvania so
a circuit shorter than the Mountain West if you will
the said that Obamacare can't cover that
and the third circuit said that yes it can obvious that for the most basic time
for the Supreme Court get involved with to
I different Federal Circuit's a rule differently the Supreme Court has to
come in
and settle that case and they have said today that they will take up the case
a quick statistical we have a graphic for you on this this would be graphic 12
this was taken from a a washington post story
today and it just shows you there the percentage in all americans in this
study was broken down into
a different a into more specifically by faith but just to give you look up
how all americans feel about whether
these types of places should provide contraceptive coverage
in their employee health plans church let me see the graphic get a real quick
amari G churches and other places of worship
the numbers 42 percent on we don't have the number against for all those but it
was right around that same number but it's safe to say that
my a lot of americans are comfortable with churches and other places of
worship
but not covering that stuff we get that but then as soon as you move to
religiously affiliated social service agency the number climbs 52 percent
think they should cover privately owned small businesses that would be like the
Hobby Lobby
a and Conestoga wood specialties 53 percent saying that the
that they should cover people the opposition to those numbers was in the
low 40's they were both ahead by about 10 percent religiously affiliated
colleges a similar number 54 percent should cover
religiously affiliated hospitals 57 percent I don't quite see what the
difference is there
jobs were talking about the employees were not talking about the treatment the
patients but
anyway that numbers increase and then finally publicly-held corporations by
about thirty points about 6232
that americans believe that
a cop separate right should be covered so I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court
doesn't look at those numbers nor should they look at those numbers but
it will be interesting to see how the Supreme Court rules again having to
settle
a difference between the third circuit on the 10th circuit it surprised the
nearly every judicial watcher there was when John Roberts
decided in favor above the legality the constitutionality of Obamacare and that
historic 5-4 decision that approved the law a
now we'll see where Robert stands on this issue
