Since I work for my insurer they are self insured for us. They don't limit what I do. It's nice.

So if you decide to get your boobs done, they'll cover that? Sex change? Nose job? Ear piercing/tattoo? pay for the expenses for you to be a surrogate for someone else? Or would they have issues paying for some of that stuff?

Actually in many of those cases yes.

You can get breast reconstruction covered in a variety of cases. Sex change yes. Nose job again for a variety of reasons. I don't quite know why ear piercing/tattoo is there...there is no health issues involved with that. Surrogate charges, medications can be covered.

I'm covered through my insurance to be someone's surrogate. The maternity care etc. My insurance covers for me to have my eggs taken for surrogacy if I needed to. All it doesn't pay for is any "search" to find a surrogate.

I often compare having a child to getting a tattoo.

I remember the days when employers didn't want to cover maternity because it was a choice. Thank God that has changed. I sure as heck didn't have 18, 000 x2 lying around for fairly simple although not perfect births.

Buy your own or find an employer that wants to cover that stuff as part of your benefits. Don't insist that the Federal Government strip away the right of a large Christian company to not have to pay for something that is against their religious beliefs. Hobby Lobby isn't saying that you can't have birth control or trying to mandate you do anything! They just don't want to commit a sin (and it doesn't matter AT ALL if you don't believe it's a sin). No One Should Try to Make Them. I would bet that most of the employees that are going to lose their jobs (because I don't think these people are going to cave) are going to love the liberals when they have to start filing for unemployment. Way to grow our economy. No health insurance and no paycheck is sooooo much better than paying for Plan B out of your own pocket.

I will never understand the logic where people think they have the right to have other people pay for something they want or need. Never. It's just so hard to imagine feeling THAT entitled.

Well, I guess that is more on Hobby Lobby's conscience isn't it. What would God say about these people being directly put out of jobs? Terrible.

I think it should just be that your employer follows the law, provides you insurance and shuts up.

I'm assuming that HL isn't covering the insurance premium 100%. If they are that is really nice but they don't have to. I still pay into my premium too so I'm not really getting something for nothing. Generic BCP is free and fluoride under the age of 6 is free routine physicals/gyn/hearing and vision are free (well no additional cost to me). Otherwise I pay towards all of my services.

I don't feel entitled at all. I work darn hard at my job and have earned these benefits.

So you would compare murder to laying someone off? I'm pretty sure their conscience will be clear if they are forced out of business.

So what happens with people who inject those for the dp? Killing in war? God thinks that is legit but a birth control pill and the MAP which is not an abortion pill makes these women murderers? Wow. Just wow.
