Professor Proposes Solution to Contraception Coverage Mandate

Professor Ed Zelinsky recently posted a new article "The Hobby Lobby Problem and the HSA/HRA Solution" that articulates an alternative approach for the contraception coverage mandate. The abstract for the article states:

"The controversy about the contraception mandate is unnecessary. The tax law contains devices for reconciling the religious concerns of employers like Hobby Lobby with the policy of expanding medical coverage: health savings accounts (HSAs) and health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs). The current regulatory exemption should be amended in two respects, to include for-profit employers and to exempt from the federal mandate employers (both nonprofit and profit-making) that maintain HSAs or HRAs for their employees."
