A very good point that needs to be made clear. Coventina Jul 2014 #14

The point is, the employer chooses which birth control is acceptable and which isn't. Is that the lostincalifornia Jul 2014 #5

Nope, ruling means NO contraceptives are covered. Not a single one. MohRokTah Jul 2014 #7

my understanding is that 4 out of 20 choices will not be covered DrDan Jul 2014 #9

Your understanding is wrong. MohRokTah Jul 2014 #10

The narrowness of the ruling is similar to that of Bush v. Gore. dawg Jul 2014 #17

excellent article. nt BootinUp Jul 2014 #60

There is a ban. The employees are banned from using their insurance to purchase pnwmom Jul 2014 #47
