On Their High Horse

Hobby Lobby Stores and its founders have filed a federal suit challenging the federal Affordable Care Act’s mandate that its corporate health insurance policy cover certain kinds of birth control as a free preventative service for employees.

The Oklahoma City-based businesses have has some 13,600 employees in 41 states, according to the lawsuit.

The Affordable Care Act - “Obamacare” to its opponents - mandates that a wide range of preventative health care services, including birth control, be offered to women without out-of-pocket expenses.

“Hobby Lobby has always been a tool of the Lord’s work. But now our faith is being challenged by the federal government,” Green said in a teleconference after the suit was filed.

“We simply cannot abandon our religious beliefs to comply with this mandate,” he said.

Tool of the Lord’s work. Tool, anyway.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
