It's not just contraception being covered that Hobby Lobby objects to- it's also doctors even TALKING to their patients about contraception.
What I still don't get is, when the eff did we get bamboozled into thinking health care coverage was a present from our employers? It's part of our compensation- we PAY for it.

This is a little silly. There's no way Hobby Lobby is going to go the lengths of demanding that women use only certain doctors that itemize their billing statements to include discussions about contraception. The article says quite plainly that discussions of that sort ALWAYS take place in the context of a general exam. This would require quite the shift in billing on the part of every OB/GYN visited by a Hobby Lobby employee.
As for your last statement, even if you're contributing, your employer is paying the VAST majority of the cost of your insurance. That's why it is (accurately) referred to as a benefit.
