This ain't over by a long shot.
If a corporation is considered a person for taxes, political contributions an political speach, why not exercise of religion. I think this might be overturned up the line.
The Catholic Church should shut down all the Catholic hospitals in the country. Let the Obama freeloaders get their free health care somewhere else.
Change the name Hobby Lobby to Holy Lobby. Claim it’s a Church.
Easily easily overturned.
It’s already been decided corporations have freedom of speech as per the recent decisions on campaign finance.
This judge is an idiot.
If you move to Idaho, you're going to miss out on all the target practice when the riots start after the overwhelming.
They’re going to appeal this ruling.
Insurance is a perfect example of things Government should run. Insurance is basicaly corporate socialism. Except instead of taxes, we pay premiums.
The benefits of a well run Government insurance provider would be tremendous. Unfortuneatly something like this only works when setup at the beginning (or very near). Now there is too much constituencies and leverage money to where it can’t be done correctly.
Who needs practice? Besides, who wants to have to work dead body detail when you have millions strewn all around you?
Closing up shop is not taking a stand. Appealing this ruling is taking the next stand and step. That is exactly what they are doing.
Amen! There is enough fight to go around.
If there’s no right to the free exercise of religion, islam can be banned.
Why dont these girls just buy their own pills out of their check? They want to screw so badly, then take of the stuff yourself!
And to think back in the 90s feminist losers used to lambaste guys for not going out and buying condoms only 20 years later to act the same way.
Cancel insurance.
Give employees a 32 hour work week.
Use money from insurance.costs an give employees a pay raise equal to 56 hour work week.
Employees can pay as.they go for general medical needs and buy hospitalization insurance only.
My opinion ...win.win for owners and employees.
Correct! If a corporation is a "person" who can give campaign money as a form of free speech, then a corporation is a "person" who can practice its religion.
Beautiful! So Muslims can only practice their faith in the mosque. Sharia stops at the mosque door. Judo, anyone?
That is too consistent. /s
On the contrary, insurance is not socialism, it's more like gambling. Gambling that you're going to get sick/that your house will burn down/that you will be in a car crash. If you're wrong, you lose your ante/premium. But, if you're right, you win!
Having the government in the business means that market forces won't be at work, which means it will become a cash cow that pays out, at the expense of taxpayers, far more than it makes, and therefore milks taxpayers dry. (So what else is new.) The government has a program for flood insurance - of houses along ocean coasts, or which are even below sea level, that are subject to hurricanes, tsunamis, and other such. The government premium is far lower than free-market companies could possibly charge (and still make money), and indeed the program is vastly underwater, financially. The government doesn't give a hoot about profitability, and therefore, isn't a good steward of anything businesslike whatsoever. Why, they can just send armed agents to you and I to collect more money, if they need to. And they do and they will. Suggesting the government can fix a broken market is not to understand the market at all.
The CEO of this operation is ripe for a visit from John Galt.
