Catholic church states it wants to NOT cover contraception in its private health care insurance offering and its hospitals. The Catholic church negotiates with health insurance companies and , in fact, the Catholic church is self-insured, so it is negotiating with itself. This insurance policy is offered to all staff, including; janitors, teachers, etc. If someone goes to a Catholic hospital they can not be offered birth control and the doctors do not provide it, according to church spokesman.
President Obama wants all people to have access to birth control and had included it into the Affordable Care Act. When the church hollered that the federal government was trying to dictate religion, the administration made an exception for churches. Unsatisfied, the Catholic church wants to go to court to resolve the issue.
The church feels they do not need to provide birth control due to religious liberty and the federal government must stay completely out.
See ya in court.
