Maybe I'm mistaken but isn't this new court decision a major encouragement for corporations to...

join religions that discourage broad swaths of medical treatment. Are we going to see businesses become Jehovah's Witnesses (no blood transfusions) or Christian Science (eschews doctors in general) so that they can scale back their coverage?

Is it time for me to start a cult for corporations. They are "people" after all, shouldn't they have a religion just for them?

Even though the Waltons control Wally World this does not apply to them.

This does not apply to covering other medical treatments or procedures. This does not apply to blood transfusions.

The Court went way out of their way to make sure that this is a narrow ruling. Stop freaking out.

And if your employer doesn't want to cover this aspect of your health insurance, new ACA rules make it easier and cheaper for you to get your own damn coverage that covers whatever the hell you want it to.
