Contraceptive Rule Changes

[Crabcake Johnny]

Contraception Mandate Clarified To Accommodate Religious Groups, Obama Administration Announces

"The new rules announced on Friday eliminate some confusion over which organizations qualify for the exemption by requiring employers with religious objections to self-certify that they are non-profits with religion as a core part of their mission. Religiously affiliated organizations that choose to insure themselves would instruct their "third-party administrator" to provide coverage through separate individual health insurance policies so that they do not have to pay for services to which they morally object."

Every set of exceptions to the ACA added by the Obama administration means more headaches for insurance companies. Additional software and document accomodations that need to be made. I bet some health insurance CEOs' have dart boards with Obama's face on them hanging in their offices.
