"do you even know what the first Amendment says?"
Sure. Here is the relevent portion...
"prohibits the federal and state governments from establishing an official religion,
or from favoring or disfavoring one view of religion over another"
"The church isn't required to foot the bill"
They aren't? Zimmy, if the church's insurance policy is expanded to provide contraception, who do you think
does pay the bill? The customer, that's who.
You liberals crack me up. Time and time again, you act as if taking money from businesses is mutually exclusive from taking money from individuals. Liberals act as if there's this giant, infinite ATM out there called "business", which we can raid whenever we want. You could not be more wrong.
How can you not understand that? Have you never ever bought something from a business? Don't those businesses raise your prices as their costs increase?
I work as an actuary Zimmy, which means it's my job to set insurance rates. When state laws require that we increase coverage, guess what? One hundred percent of the time, we pass that on to the customer. Every single time. We have no other choice.
I know what the ist amendment says. Perhaps you should be as well versed in economics 101 as I am with the 1st amendment.
