The Blunt Amendment would allow any employer--even someone who runs a manufacturing plant or restaurant--to refuse to cover any health care service it objects to, that would otherwise be required by health care reform. Same goes for an insurance company, which could refuse to include these services in the products it sells to its clients. This amendment would not just roll back access to birth control; it would also undermine one of the Affordable Care Act's most fundamental purposes: ensuring that all health insurance plans cover basic health services.

3. He's hilarious in a disgusting Republican sort of way

Paraphrasing...

"We are NOT allowing employers to just deny ANY care. Don't be silly. We are ONLY allowing employer's to deny Women's Health care"

What a piece of work.
