What I do believe is that this issue is tailor made for our now ultra-litigious society. These days everybody has "rights" to every issue, and there is no such thing as common sense or right & wrong. Therefore I am sure that there are already batteries of lawyers lining up to sue for whatever does or does not happen over this new issue of what an employer-provided insurance benefit can or cannot be.
Having managed a few businesses myself I can say that the cost to employers for health care benefits are immense, and are growing like weeds. And I cannot blame employers for seeking to reduce their costs by using tools provided to them by their insurance companies.
Once the Affordable Care Act hits the fan on 1/1/2014 with all of it's rules and regulations, I don't think it will take long before the lawyers start racking up the billable hours by the hundreds to sue for every conceived slight or perceived discrimination.
