Christian college renews suit against birth control mandate
{mosads}Under the new system, self-insured religious groups will notify the administrator of their healthcare plan about their objection to covering certain types of birth control.
The administrator will then notify policyholders separately about their eligibly for contraception under the ObamaCare rules.
Employees who want to take advantage of their eligibility can then obtain birth control directly from their insurance company, which will receive a federal rebate for providing the service.
Federal health officials have praised the plan as a compromise between religious groups and women who deserve free access to birth control.
But plaintiffs like CCU argue the system still violates their beliefs by asking them to “designate” third-party administrators to facilitate birth control methods they disagree with.
The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado.
