Supreme Court Oral Argument on Health Care Law Birth Control Mandate Exemption Expansion
1 hour, 42 minutesThe Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of new Trump administration rules expanding the number of organizations that can file for religious or moral exemption from the health care law's birth control mandate. Justice Clarence Thomas delivered the court's majority opinion, while Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote the dissenting opinion. The justices heard oral argument via teleconference during a special May 2020 session due to the coronavirus pandemic. Under the Affordable Care Act, contraceptive coverage for women is required of company employee insurance plans. However, nonprofit religious employers can file an accommodation form to be exempt for their religious beliefs. In 2017, under the Trump administration, the Health and Human Services Department issued new rules that expanded the number of entities and organizations that can be exempt. Lawsuits soon followed challenging the agency's rulemaking authority and whether the rules were legal.
