It "went through" because it was a HHS Secretary decision.  Kathleen Sebelius, America's Heydrich, decided last year that next year every employer would have to do this starting next year.  And the only religious exemption would be Muslims, and actual clergy.
All 208 Catholic bishops opposed this shit, because, since every Catholic bishop hires non-Catholics for all chores from cutting lawns to doing the books, every Catholic diocese would fail to qualify.
And after some uproar, Sebelius said they didn't have to pay for it personally, just buy insurance that covered it.  And they'd have to do it starting this summer.
So opponents decided the only way out is to win the election.  And the Church is advising all employers to drop their plans and let the workers go to the govt for healthcare.

Obamacare said the Health and Human Services Secretary would determine the minimum necessary care options that all insurance has to cover.  Sebelius has decided that includes abortion adn birth control.

Instead of promising to do unconstitutional waivers, Romney should declare he will uphold Obamacare and order his HHS Secy to find cruise therapy and whores to be required health care that has to be in every plan, and either get it repealed or destroy our economy.
