... an unfair advantage over it's competitors (cheaper health insurance without Birth Control, making for cheaper operating costs). The Supremes then recommend that the government find a way to subsidize the health care costs that HL won't pay.
Do the competitors have a legitimate beef?

(6,324 posts)Health care costs vary wildly based on lots of factors, so since this is just one variable among thousands there probably won't be any case.
Heck if I moved 3 miles across a county line I could drop the cost of a plan on the exchanges by over $800 a year. Just by moving 3 miles.
Way too many variables.
