Group health plans sponsored by certain religious employers, and group health insurance coverage in connection with such plans, are exempt from the requirement to cover contraceptive services. A religious employer is one that: (1) has the inculcation of religious values as its purpose; (2) primarily employs persons who share its religious tenets; (3) primarily serves persons who share its religious tenets; and (4) is a non-profit organization under Internal Revenue Code section 6033(a)(1) and section 6033(a)(3)(A)(i) or (iii). 45 C.F.R. §147.130(a)(1)(iv)(B)</p>
<p>Especially #3 will be a challenge for Catholic hospitals and Catholic schools. It offers no protection for doctors and other health care providers.</p>Nancy D. commented on '"Respect Conscience, Strengthen Health Care"'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d834515a9a69e20153905080bc970b2011-07-31T14:03:33Z2011-07-31T14:03:33ZNancy D.Such is the tangled web, some are willing to weave, to deny the inherent unalienable Right of every human individual...<p>Such is the tangled web, some are willing to weave, to deny the inherent unalienable Right of every human individual to be treated with dignity and respect.</p>Andrew MacKie-Mason commented on '"Respect Conscience, Strengthen Health Care"'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d834515a9a69e2015390506072970b2011-07-31T13:41:20Z2011-07-31T13:41:20ZAndrew MacKie-Masonhttp://source4politics.blogspot.comThe right to free exercise of religion is also, obviously, not unlimited.<p>The right to free exercise of religion is also, obviously, not unlimited.</p>Nancy D. commented on '"Respect Conscience, Strengthen Health Care"'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d834515a9a69e2014e8a437901970d2011-07-31T13:02:23Z2011-07-31T13:02:23ZNancy D.Which is why, for the sake of clarity, we should refer to the need for a religious liberty clause rather...<p>Which is why, for the sake of clarity, we should refer to the need for a religious liberty clause rather than a conscience clause, whenever our unalienable Right to practice our Faith in public as well as private is not being secured and protected.</p>Andrew MacKie-Mason commented on '"Respect Conscience, Strengthen Health Care"'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d834515a9a69e2014e8a4072fe970d2011-07-31T01:40:12Z2011-07-31T01:40:12ZAndrew MacKie-Masonhttp://source4politics.blogspot.comNancy, I'm unclear on how that's a response to my comment.
