If Hobby Lobby doesn't want to purchase contraception coverage don't force them too. Just require Hobby Lobby to give each employee a per diem equivalent to what it would cost Hobby Lobby to provide such coverage. The employee can then spend that money they way they choose.....let the employee buy their own contraception coverage.
We do go for that, because it's basically identical to purchasing the insurance coverage. It's not as if the numbnuts who run that redneck Jesus craft store have to personally purchase birth control and personally hand it over to every individual employee who needs it. You mention an equivalent payment. The keyword is 'equivalent'. Handing over cash money is no more or less involving the company in the procurement of this drug that offends their idiot sensibilities than is purchasing the insurance that their employees may or may not use for fertility medicine of any kind. It's a gesture that means literally nothing.
All this boils down to is giving the religious special privileges. Let's see how much you all like it if some Muslims attempt to test how much Sharia Law they can inflict upon people citing this ruling.
Negative Ryantology.
It is not the same as buying insurance coverage. It is the same as compensating the employees with cash and letting them decide how to spend it.
The small tranche of cash will have a particular label recommending to the employee how it should be spent. This will fool the libertards into thinking they've done something good but the reality is we are exactly where we were regarding contraceptive coverage before Obamacare. People getting paid for their labor in cash and then buying contraceptives on the open market if that is what they choose to do.
The truth is, you libertards fuck things up trying to get people to behave and think the way you want people to behave and think. The government maximizes freedom....maximizes the ability to persue happines....by just staying the fuck out of peoples lives.
