Supreme Court Rejects Contraceptives Mandate for Some Corporations

The Supreme Court simply overturned a Health and Human Services regulation on what is a "preventive care" based on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).

Congress can fix this by simply making clear in the law what "preventive care" are required under Affordable Care Act, as the RFRA only applies to regulations of the government and not new laws. Laws can not legally bind the future actions of congress.

Nothing in decision prevents congress from requiring employers to provide contraception. Congress still has that power, as only congress can modify existing laws like RFRA.
