How Hobby Lobby failed to think this through. [View all]

1) A corporation's main goal is always to maximize profits.

2) As a large corporation, Hobby Lobby is mandated to provide health care insurance to their employees.

3) All insurance companies are mandated to provide coverage for birth control.

4) Insurance plans that DO NOT cover birth control will be considered non-standard by the insurance companies.

5) Non-standard insurance plans come at a premium price.

6) Hobby Lobby will now have to pay more money in order to provide less coverage to their female employees.

7) ?

8) Fewer profits!
