According to RWNJs, employer-provided health insurance is “FREE STUFF” not something that is EARNED by the employee for working there. You know just like a paycheck is FREE MONEY.//

The few I’ve confronted about that and questioned as to why employers can’t simply dump the benefits and pay their employees the difference to buy their own insurance have generally all ended up at the same point: Health benefits are a form of “charity,” that it’s something that the employer gives as part of their “religious beliefs” rather than something that is earned. Thus forcing a company like Hobby Lobby to choose to either abide by the mandate or pay the fines is likewise a violation their “beliefs.”
