Real Alternatives, Inc. v. Sec. Dept. of Health and Human Serv., PICS Case No. 17-1294 (3d Cir. Aug. 4, 2017) Rendell, J. (115 pages).
Having employees with religious objections to contraceptives maintain employer-provided health insurance with contraceptive coverage pursuant to the ACA’s contraceptive mandate did not violate the Religious Freedom Restoration Act because the mandate did not impose a substantial burden on the employees’ free exercise of religion. Summary judgment affirmed.
