Bottom line is let the individual decide what insurance is appropriate. If Obama is to be believed a woman/church-entity opting out of contraceptive coverage would be a bigger risk and thus more expensive to insure. I think if a woman was quoted say $225/month with full contraceptive coverage as opposed $250/month w/o it, only those following religious doctrine would opt out. This of course hinges on Obama’s actuarial skills being correct.

And I was unaware of Obama allowing individual women to opt out of contraceptive coverage? If that is the case I applaud him, but I think you may be mistaken.
