Catholic bishops issue 'call to action' on religious freedom

The Hill   ""We need … to speak frankly with each other when our freedoms are threatened. Now is such a time," the document says. "As Catholic bishops and American citizens, we address an urgent summons to our fellow Catholics and fellow Americans to be on guard, for religious liberty is under attack, both at home and abroad.""....
"The church leadership's relationship with the Obama administration hit new lows after the administration announced in January that employers would have to offer birth control without co-pays under President Obama's healthcare reform law.
But the ACLU takes issue on this and this is their position:
"....we do not believe that any religious institution has the right to use religion as an excuse to discriminate or deny services to the public, and certainly should not expect to receive government funds to do so," the ACLU said in a statement."
So anything, anything at all the government says must be provided MUST be provided or you will be accused of denying it. Yet contraceptives are not being denied; they are easily available over the drug store counter.

Mona Charen: You Pay for Warren Buffett’s Medicare   "....Democrats nearly always argue that the pre-Obamacare health system was a “free market” system that failed.

"On the contrary, the pre-Obamacare health system was already badly distorted by government. The open-ended Medicare entitlement, which pays for every medical expense incurred by the elderly without regard to income, is an invitation to overuse. Consumers have no incentive to shop for value, and thus have no idea what the care they receive costs. Medicaid is even worse."   Via NRO
