Employers pay part of the premium, employees pay their share.
Also, these premium payments by the employers are part of the overall salary/benefits package.
So it is wrong to suggest that employers should have more say than the employee.

My guess is many see it as a personal liberty issue. The healthcare mandate is tricky enough for many Americans who see it as government forcing people to purchase a service. Forcing them to purchase a service that violates their religious belief is seen as a slippery slope. If the employers can be forced the employees might be next.
Just guessing but since we don’t have anyone here to defend the other side we just have to speculate.
