Of those, 36 were filed by for-profit companies. The remaining number have been brought by religiously affiliated nonprofit organizations.”
The article reviews conflicting decisions at the US appeals court level, as well as a recent appellate court decision against Liberty University, which has lodged a more general objection to being compelled to provide any health insurance.
