The Wall Street Journal reports the broad outline of a pending Obama-compromise.
Two problems:
- There is still no conscience protection for Catholics (and others) who own insurance companies.
- It is unclear whether those who own private businesses with no religious affiliation will also be allowed conscience protections.
Looks like Obama is betting that if he can just make the Catholic Schools and Hospitals be quiet, no one will notice all the private citizens whose rights are still being infringed.
A genuine compromise would be for employers to provide healthcare funding at a level that would cover everything on Obama’s A-list, and employees could then choose their own insurance plan.
