Not much different from what I said.

What I'm saying is, Catholics could argue that having to recognize people that were remarried as legal spouses for purposes of insurance is infringing on their right to reject second marriages as illegitimate.

And my point is have they? Is anyone in the Federal government saying they must do this? Or is it just being challenged at the state level and the issue has never come up at a Federal level?

Do you think they should have the right to reject remarried spouses from their health care coverage?

Haven't really thought about it much, guess I just don't care.
