This is how inexpensive it is. This doesn't deny any employee to go out and purchase a drug that would kill their child in the womb. You can purchase it at one retailer for $4 a month and another retailer--all of these retailers are widely available across the United States--for $9 a month, so this is well within the grasp of any employee. The one employer from Oklahoma that you mentioned pays a starting wage of over $14 an hour. There is a lot of Americans listening right now who would love to have a job at $14 an hour--in fact, I think it is $14.61 per hour, I think that is their starting wage--plus very generous health insurance benefits. So why in the world would the Obama administration deny to 16,000 employees scattered across the United States potentially their job, their livelihood? It is either you agree with our administration's view of religion and morality or you forfeit your company. This is a pretty big deal. This is about as big as it gets. This to me shows a stunning arrogance of power by the Obama administration, that they would force people to give up and yield their religious liberty and freedom of expression rights or pay for that right.
