Hobby Lobby ahole threatens to close all stores

59. I agree but the current situation is exactly the opposite.

You're also laboring under the mistaken assumption that all employees support elective contraception. Please tell me what policy an employee -- using their own money according to their own preferences -- can purchase without elective contraceptive coverage. Plenty of Catholics who are women and observant of Church teachings are also mere employees. Yet, they too find themselves in the unenviable position of having to support for-profit corporations that violate their deeply held beliefs. It would be akin to all the people in this thread who have said "I would never shop at such a bigoted store!" suddenly found themselves running afoul of a law that said they have to purchase beads and scrapbooking supplies exclusively from Hobby Lobby.

But even that does not address the point that the law DICTATES that if he does not spend his money to purchase policies that violate his beliefs then the law will take him to court and penalize him. If he were to choose insurance policies that did not provide elective contraceptives then he would be in legal jeopardy. To say otherwise is to be fundamentally dishonest about what the law demands. So, no; despite your gross mischaracterization of the situation, it is not him telling his employees how to spend their money.
