Corporations Find Religion to Dodge Obamacare

Not only are corporations “people,” but they can have religious beliefs — enough to find faith-based objections to Obamacare:

In the most prominent challenge of its kind, Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. asked a federal appeals court Thursday for an exemption from part of the federal health care law that requires it to offer employees health coverage that includes access to the morning-after pill.

The Oklahoma City-based arts-and-crafts chain argued that businesses — not just the currently exempted religious groups — should be allowed to seek exception from that section of the health law if it violates their religious beliefs.

Hobby Lobby prays to the patron saint of alliteration.

I guess this will allow most of the Christian-owned fast food chains to request exemptions, too. Domino’s, Papa Johns, Chick-Fil-A — they’ll all claim the God excuse. And as soon as the government investigates whether it’s true, they’ll all claim they’ve been targeted by Obama. Interesting how that works.
