Insurance is supposed to be a pooling of resources to guard against catastrophic events. Contraception is routine. My car insurance doesn't pay for oil changes. My homeowners insurance doesn't pay for a fresh coat of paint. IMO the US is in trouble with health care largely because we've gotten away from the basic insurance principle.
I haven't been following this story 'too' intently, but ran across this article. I have mixed feelings about all of this. I'm no longer religious and while I classify myself as an atheist, is it right to bestow MY views onto religious people? Should all corporations, regardless of their religious affiliations, be required to pay for contraception under their insurance plans?
