http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/06/30/326926331/companies-can-refuse-to-cover-contraception-supreme-court-says

    This decision concerns only the contraceptive mandate and should not be understood to mean that all insurance mandates, that is for blood transfusions or vaccinations, necessarily fail if they conflict with an employer's religious beliefs.

how nice that they confined this ruling to their particular religious preferences

Let us also note that items such as Viagra are still covered, the only thing that changed is contraceptives for women.

I really wish I had something more useful to say than "this is what happens when old conservative dudes make decisions for the entire country".
