“The Supreme Court’s decision Monday saying that “closely held corporations” do not have to abide by the contraceptive coverage mandate in the Affordable Care Act may not give those firms the ability to stop providing that coverage after all.

Unlike the ACA, those laws do not require that coverage to be available without deductibles or co-pays.”
