Technicality threatens medical coverage
A court ruling could
eliminate preventive medical care for millions
of Americans.
The lawsuit was filed by religious fanatics who object to paying for
drugs to prevent transmission of HIV. Those drugs, over time, can
wipe out HIV, but extremist Christians think that the deity they
worship intended HIV to make homosexuals suffer and we humans should
not interfere.
The decision was based on the perverse idea that they have a
constitutional right not to pay for insurance coverage of treatments
that violate their religion.
I don't think that they object to cancer screening as such. I think
those are the collateral damage caused by a desire to punish people
for having sex.
