"   A controversial amendment that would have allowed any employer to refuse to cover health care services (including birth control) for &amp;quot;moral reasons&amp;quot; was rejected by the Senate yesterday. The Blunt Amendment was a direct response to President Obama&amp;#039;s rule that employers and health care companies must cover birth control costs for their employees, leaving them with no co-pay. Obama&amp;#039;s rule includes an exception for churches and faith-based employers, but some senators argued that requiring any employer to cover birth control when they oppose it violates their right to religious freedom. Some senators who opposed the bill argued that it would allow employers to pick and choose which women&amp;#039;s health care options they want to cover, such as mammograms and prenatal care for single moms. So, what does this mean for you? If you have health insurance and you don&amp;#039;t work for a religious organization, starting in August, you won&amp;#039;t have to pay a co-pay for birth control. What do you think of the ruling? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
