Today’s Daily Caller<\/a> is reporting that on Wednesday a federal appeals court<\/a> blocked the implementation of the HHS mandate<\/a> requiring employers to provide health care plans that include coverage for contraceptives, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Missouri business owner Frank O\u2019Brien, who employs 87 people at O\u2019Brien Industrial Holdings, alleged in the lawsuit<\/a> that led to the injunction that the mandate\u00a0unconstitutionally\u00a0infringes on his religious beliefs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The order by the three-judge panel on the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals<\/a> prohibits HHS from forcing O\u2019Brien to comply with the mandate, until the court issues a substantive ruling on the matter. The injunction order is not a final determination on the merits of O\u2019Brien\u2019s case or the constitutionality of the mandate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ)<\/a> also reported on this case yesterday:<\/p>\n

In October, a federal district court judge<\/a> granted the Obama Administration’s Motion to Dismiss<\/a> the lawsuit. The ACLJ immediately filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. In an order issued today, the appeals court granted the ACLJ motion requesting an injunction pending an appeal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lawsuit<\/a>, which was filed in March 2012, marked the first legal challenge to the HHS mandate from a private business owner and his company. Until the suit was filed, only religious organizations or institutions brought lawsuits challenging the mandate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…In addition to the O\u2019Brien case, the ACLJ has filed two other direct challenges to the HHS mandate<\/a> and filed amicus briefs backing other challenges in more than a dozen cases.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe that it is unconstitutional for the government to require Americans to buy health insurance<\/a>, much less tell employers what health insurance has to include. I hope one of these cases makes it to the Supreme Court and this time the Supreme Court makes the correct decision–I think the Supreme Court’s<\/a> last decision on Obamacare was incorrect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
