The U.S. Supreme Court this morning ruled that a lower court (7th Circuit Court of Appeals) must re-examine its decision which initially held that Notre Dame University, a Catholic university must comply with the Obamacare (ACA) regulations requiring contraceptive care for its employees. The Supreme Court’s decision today ordered the lower court to examine the Supreme Court’s prior decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. which allowed closely held for-profit companies to refuse to offer birth control coverage to employees on religious grounds. See the story here.
