Obama just can’t get the fact that he can’t make up the laws, Congress does!

Except for when Repubs in Congress wants Obama to do stuff, like fund Syrian rebels, to go against the law in dealing with children coming across the border, insisting he can just pay the debt through slight of hand when they trigger a default, etc…

This is the best idea achievable, and will still be considered a ghastly infringement by at least 4 Justices and everyone else who already has their reward in full.

Yes, SIR, Mr. President, they should. Corporationd should disclose this information for ALL TO SEE. We want to know, I’m not sure if I want to invest in a company that decides to cover my health care needs or my family by their moral compass. Could mean big-buck loss for party/religion/alined Corporations. Don’t open ‘Pandora’s Box’ unless you’re ready to accept the consequences.

Was that satire or just stupidity?
“be happy with what there(sic) willing to give you” Were you born a slave or did you somehow become one?
And, yes, employers are under the obligation to provide health insurance under the law.

yes, employers are people and the individuals employed are people as well.

I think that it would have been helpful for the weak of mind had you clearly labelled your post as snark since otherwise they might think you were serious.

Employers who are sole proprietors or partners in a partnership are people. Employers who are corporations are not people, regardless of what the Supreme Court or Mitt Romney (who may or may not be a people) may claim. Abraham LIncoln was very clear about the distinction between calling something something and the reality of whether that something IS a something. You ARE right that employers are under no obligation to offer any health care – if they are prepared to pay a penalty instead. Of course if an employer chooses to offer health insurance or most other benefits, they have to be offered to substantially all employees.

My screen says “Saved” at the bottom, but neither my computer nor I are Christian.

Under the reasoning in the other case (it’s unconstitutional to make an employer fill out a form to opt out) This would clearly be forbidden. Next step, the religious freedom to not tell employees what the insurance they pay for covers at all.
