The Right’s Plan to Kill the Birth Control Benefit
We all hate paperwork, and in particular, it’s fair to say that most of us really hate health insurance paperwork.
But the lawyers for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty—the nonprofit law firm behind many of the legal challenges to the Affordable Care Act (ACA)—seem to have taken their hatred of paperwork to a new level.
They hate health insurance paperwork so much that they have sent multiple cases to the U.S. Supreme Court to fight against filling out a single form that would allow them to opt out of the ACA’s birth control benefit.
The details are boring. Really, really boring. But as comedian John Oliver recently said, “If you want to do something evil, hide it in something boring.”
