However with only 50 million Catholics, probably only half eligible to vote and the majority of their population in large Democrat leaning cities, as a voting block, they are negligible anyway.

i don't think the govt has any business in requiring a company to provide certain services. and there is nothing free in this world-these add ons are costing everyone thru higher premiums. on the other hand, we all pay for others to get services whether we agree or not-look at your phone bill. there's a charge on there that provides funds for low income people to get cell phones 'free'. free to them...but the rest of us pay for it.
by the same token, i don't think a church has any right to force it's beliefs on its employees or patients. i've always found it interesting that many plans would pay for viagra and the like without question, but wouldn't pay for birth control pills.
obama is now forcing the carriers to provide the insurance rather than force the zealots to pay-but they'll still pay. and they still won't like it. obama ought to know by now that you can't please everyone, and if you try, you'll end up pleasing no one.
i can see the catholic church dropping group coverage.
