Obamacare's tentacles are just now starting to reach deep into the health care industry and how it affects everyday Americans. On Friday, in the standard document dump fashion, the Health and Human Services (HHS) department announced that healthcare plans will be required to cover birth control without charging co-pays or deductibles starting this summer. This means that the taxpayers will be subsidizing birth control for all Americans. The issue goes deeper, as we've now seen Obamacare fundamentally transforms how an individual purchases birth control and who pays for it. This was done to please the pro-life wing of the liberal base; however, it has angered Congressional Republicans and religious organizations, rightfully so.
