From a conversation I had with religious-liberty writer and lawyer Tom Messner:
LOPEZ: How is the HHS mandate related to the individual mandate and this week’s Supreme Court case?
MESSNER: The common theme is freedom. As most people probably know, this week the Supreme Court considers arguments about whether the federal government is constitutionally permitted to force American citizens to enter the market for health insurance. The HHS Mandate is about what drugs and services health-care plans must include. These various mandates are really just different sides of the big box that Obamacare builds around freedom. When freedom in general gets trapped inside the Obamacare box, freedom of religious and moral conscience is likely to get trapped too.
