My factual basis for believing people will have to pay for the coverage is, as already stated 1) Obamas healthcare "reform" is almost completely devoid of cost oversight, one of its biggest flaws and thus one of the biggest liberal criticisms, and 2) Obama has a history of reversing himself, on healthcare in particular and on this issue specifically. So when Obama says, "we will do x, and the law with almost no provisions to enforce it will guarantee it," I believe it about as much as I did when he said it two days ago. Maybe I am more wrong now than two days ago; I hope so, because my only error then was in overestimating how long it would take him to cave just as I said he would. It is what he does. Note Rolands response immediately below yours: Aetna MAY comply to save money, but if they do not Obama has no means to force them. He is pretty much entirely dependent on their voluntary compliance. Again, that is the whole problem with his healthcare "reform:" It relies on those who got rich destroying the healthcare system to voluntarily repair it.

Oh, and I pretty much already knew "what women really think" about this, but even the ones who use contraception do not all agree the government should force churches whose doctrine forbids it to buy it for employees. I think Obama already has the strict pro choice vote locked up (though Romney was a NARAL donor back when he was running for governor of a liberal state. ) I also think the number of religious Americans greatly outnumber the strict pro choice ones, and a lot of the former were already uneasy about Dems in general and Obama in particular. This did not help with anyone on the fence.
