Where did Hobby Lobby employees get their contraception coverage prior to the ACA?

[Puzzledtraveller]

I have always worked in the public sector at the municipal and state level. How much did private companies pick what was covered in the plans they offered their employees prior to the ACA?

1. From their insurance coverage.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]HL's benefit package included insurance that already paid for contraception. HL was either unaware of it or had no issue with it until they were approached by another firm that wanted to make an issue of it.

There are other posts here at DU that will tell you all about it.

2. Thanks, that indeed sounds shady.

4. Oh of course..had no issue until it became Obamacare

Disgusting. Hope it backfires from every possible angle.

5. Did they offer the four forms the protested against?

My wife worked for a catholic hospital and they covered no birth control medication, unless if was for a medical reason other than contraception. I am guessing HL had the same.

6. I don't know, but I think so.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Saw a couple of threads about this earlier, but didn't read every word. You could do a search of Hobby Lobby threads for just today and see what you find.

The firm that approached them started with a "B" but I don't remember the name. Big help, I know. It might be in "Most discussed" or "Greatest" threads by now. I'm sure someone around here knows.

8. I am sure they offered them

The question is if they offered them as contraception or for non-contraception purposes only.

9. The link in post #7 might help.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]At least, it may lead you to someplace where you can find more answers.

3. Great question Puzzledtraveller

Interesting topic for DU slueths.
I have no idea where to start searching but I will follow your post.
I'd kinda like to know the answer myself.
