O brave new world.
Yes, exactly. I don't know how not wanting to pay for someone's contraception qualifies as "shoving your religion down people's throats". Granted HL may claim that they don't want to pay on religious grounds. But does their reason really matter? Whatever their reason, they shouldn't be forced to pay IMO.

The government makes no sense. Things that they shouldn't be involved in, they want to get involved in. But things that they should do, they won't do. They won't let a person write off medical bills, unless it is over a certain amount. If you make $100,000 in a year and you have a $5,000 medical bill, you can't even write it off. It needs to be over 5%. That is absurd. If it was for a necessary medical procedure, it should come right off of your taxes. They won't even give you a tax break on a necessary medical procedure. I think you should be able to write off 100% of medical bills.
