(2) If your employer is a Scientologist, can they refuse to provide insurance that will pay for doctor visits due to religious convictions?

My apologies in advance to all Jehovah's Witnesses and Scientologists as I know little about your religious beliefs.
If the employers can stand up to and meet the numerous limiting qualifiers established in this decision - most likely yes. What do you think the odds are that one of those employers is going to test that possibility?
