From Yahoo! News, about the U.S. high court: "The Supreme Court has opened the
door to a new challenge to President Barack Obama's sweeping health care
reform law, just five months after upholding the law's individual
mandate in a dramatic 5-4 decision. The court decided on Monday that Liberty University, an evangelical institution in Virginia, must
get a second hearing from a lower court of its challenge to the health
care law's birth control mandate and its provision that all large
employers provide insurance to employees or pay a fine."
The article continues: "The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals threw out the case last year, saying the university couldn't
challenge the employer or birth control mandates before they went into
effect. The university argues that providing employees and students with
health insurance that covers contraceptives violates its religious
freedom under the First Amendment, and that employers cannot be
compelled to provide health insurance."
