In a recent ruling from the Hobby Lobby case, The Supreme Court has ruled that ‘for-profit’ businesses can now evoke the religious rights disclaimer regarding contraceptive coverage. This means that non-religious business can now forgo the previous ACA mandates requiring contraceptive (no co-pay) coverage for women, an exception previously afforded only to religious based business with objection to this mandate for religious reasons. According to a recent article in Medscape.com, “The Court ruled 5-4 that closely held corporations, or companies with a small group of shareholders, may refuse to cover methods of contraception that they oppose for religious reasons.”
