It's just saying that if, as an employer, you choose to provide health insurance to your employees, then you must purchase insurance that provides certain services and medications that you find morally objectionable. The employer could choose to simply not provide health insurance. The employer does have that option, but is that what we want?

Besides, my point was that a single-payer system would avoid this mess.

And I maintain that forcing people to buy insurance is a bad idea and hostile to the Constitution.
