And unless you subscribe to the theory that "corporations are people too", an insurance company is unlike to have "moral guidelines" unless it is a specific religious group's insurance offered to members of that religion, in which case I doubt those that you consider "targeted" would be enrolled in that type of insurance.
That is just not true. We already have laws on the books regarding abortion and contraception. This law is specifically aimed at the LGBTQ community, but can have repercussions in other sectors as well. Remember the other law - "Don't Say Gay"? You surely don't think this isn't an extension of that? And don't get me going on insurance companies. They have a history of denying payment and rejecting services. They don't have a conscience, but I can see them claiming to have one if it will benefit them financially. The bottom line is, medical standards should guide medical treatment. Period.
