I disagree with the decision, but I don't think it will have much of an impact at all. The birth control "mandate" was a relatively recent thing so it's not like a long standing benefit is being taken away. Most health insurance companies and employers will continue to provide birth control coverage because it saves them money and makes them look generous.

This will impact a small number of employees who work for wacko family run businesses. And birth control is relatively affordable anyway, so most of them will just get it on their own.

Before I got snipped, my wife had to pay out of pocket for birth control pills because they weren't covered then. No big deal.

The only reason this is news is because it's the principle of the thing.
