Geneva College, Religious Nonprofits Take Aim at Obamacare Mandate

If the “opt-out” process in the government's health care mandate is a burden on churches, it's also a burden on religious nonprofits, a private Beaver Falls college and other faith-based nonprofits argue in a brief filed this week with the Supreme Court. Geneva College, which is affiliated with the Reformed Presbyterian Church, is one of 37 nonprofits challenging an Affordable Care Act mandate that requires them either to cover contraceptives and abortion-inducing medications or to sign a paper that certifies they morally object to providing the coverage.   The high court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in the case at the end of March.
