On August 1, the one-year “safe harbor” for religious
charities objecting to provisions of Obamacare will end. Starting then,
these nonprofit employers will be forced to violate their religious
beliefs or pay large fines. In charge of collecting the fines will be
our recently newsworthy friends at the Internal Revenue Service.
To
recap how we got here: In 2010 a panel created by the new health care
law determined that all health insurance policies provided by employers
must cover contraception, sterilization, and abortion drugs free of
charge. Employers not complying with this Health and Human Services
(HHS) mandate will be fined up to $100 per employee, per day. For some,
that could mount to millions of dollars a year.
