This isn’t my employer’s health care, it’s mine. The money used to pay for it is part of my compensation package. The health insurance package should have what I want and need, not that which is OK’d by my employer’s religion.
Are you seriously suggesting that my Jehovah’s Witness employer can give me health insurance which doesn’t cover blood transfusions? Where does it end.
This offends my religious rights by imposing my employer’s religion on me.
If you are not satisfied with the employer provided healthcare offered ...
You are not required to enroll with, nor contribute to the employer's healthcare provider.
Of course if you choose not to accept their benefit ...
They don't have to contribute to whatever healthcare you decide to purchase.
They are not required to provide you with a healthcare benefit.
It's your choice ... They have a choice as well.

As an employee, my employer does not have the right to tell me how to spend the money and other compensation I earn. If that compensation includes employee health care benefits, my employer’s religious beliefs should never be a factor in my health care.
I have turned down job offers because the benefits package was not to my liking. Any employer which inflicts its religious beliefs on its employees, it’s not a company I would want to work for.
Nobody's saying that your employer should be able to decide what sort of health care you have, people are only saying that your employer should be able to choose what healthcare -they- offer you. -You-, on the other hand, should be free to pursue whatever healthcare you deem necessary. If your employer happens to offer that plan, great. If not, figure it out yourself. You are -your- responsibility.
I live in a country where my employer provides government funded health care. My doctor and I decide what treatments I need, and employer health taxes fund it.
This bullshit stripping women’s access to birth control depending on where she goes to school or who she works for is just that: bullshit. This isn’t “religious freedom”. Don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining.
Investigate the phrase "I live in a country". Exactly. WE DON'T, and we don't want to.
There is nothing you can tell us about the wonders of your country that are going to make us want to emulate them, or make us the slightest bit interested in how you think we should run a country you aren't part of. Mind your own business.
