In the face of a wave of what kind of government can tell religious groups do case, Obama the government put forward a compromise of faith as the foundation of the non-profit organization in employee health plan coverage of birth control object.
Some go to the Supreme Court proceedings appear, threat to another controversial legal battle, President Obama's health reform act, the law requires most employers pay as a preventive services, free for female worker of birth control. Legal immunity of the church and other places of worship, but against religious charities, universities, hospitals, even some for the purpose of making profits enterprise.
The government's new offer, the proposed laws and regulations, there are two major parts.
Government officials say, it will be more simple definition is completely release abide by religious organizations. For example, a mosque pantry, the whole society have not kept.
For other religious employers, proposal to create buffer between and contraceptive coverage. Female employees can still free use by the insurance company or a third party, but unit of choose and employ persons did not arrange coverage, pay for it. Insurance will submit an expense account any cost, due to cost the government credit.
It is not clear whether the plan would meet against the Roman Catholic charities and other beliefs affiliate non-profit organizations nationwide challenging requirements.
Whether the Catholic institute of health, hospital, also is not a trade group the United States conference of Catholic bishops have the immediate reaction, the provisions of the said is still under investigation.
But the national association of evangelicals, represent about forty denomination management and engineering immigration and other questions, was soon rejected rules. It says, this change does not create enough faith community buffer between and birth control coverage.
"Obama government should do the right thing, give up contraceptive authorization, or at least should have immunity, liss Anderson said:" all religious organization, the President of the association.
Kyle Duncan, religious freedom, this is representative religious non-profit organizations and enterprises in the litigation beckett fund total legal adviser said, many of his customers still have serious concerns.
"This is a moral decision," Duncan said. "Why no government is exempt from them?"
Some women's advocates happy.
"For us, the most important thing is, the female employees to have insurance, to meet their needs, even if their religion subordinate employer work, Pearson said:" Cindy, the national women's health network executive director.
Strategy analyst Sara Lipton Lubet American civil liberties union rules, in order to meet the American civil liberties union goal is to provide "seamless coverage".
Health and human services secretary Catherine west bailey Sirius said in a statement, compromise will provide "women in the nationwide recommend preventive care, without any cost coverage, at the same time respect the religious problems".
Birth control rules, firstly introduces a year ago, become the problem of election, and that some women praise task victory, but some religious leaders condemned it as a faith community attack.
"Medical hygiene" requirements, most employers, including beliefs affiliated hospital and non-profit organizations, to provide preventive health care, the staff do not charge any fee. The scientific advisory committee has recommended to the government, artificial contraceptive measures, including disinfection, including a set of services for women. And, to some degree, our goal is to help women pregnant empty out to promote health.
According to the original rules, only those religious groups, the main application service their faith - such as the church - exempt. But other religious affiliated organizations, such as church belong to university, Catholic charities and hospital, were told they must abide by.
Catholic bishops' college, evangelical and some religious leaders generally support Obama's policy on intense lobbying, broader immunity. The Catholic church banned the use of artificial contraception. Evangelical universal acceptance of birth control, but some of the specific object methods, such as the morning after birth control pills, they think is equal to abortion, policy covers.
Obama promised to change the requirements of birth control, so the insurance company - and dishonest subordinate employers - will pay coverage, but religious leaders said, need more change, make the plan work.
Since then, more than forty lawsuit has been referred to the religious and secular non-profit organization for the purpose of making profits enterprise, the task of schools of thought contend in violation of their religious beliefs. As expected, the new regulation does not provide any accommodation, for individual and industrial and commercial door rules have religious opposition.
Questions remain about how to service will eventually support. Health and human service plan is not consistent overall cost, according to the chiquita of Brooks LaSure HHS, a deputy director of the policy.
However, in the new version of the rules, the department that change will not to insurance company collection of new cost, because it will save their money ", the improvement of women's health and reduce birth."
