Supreme Court Orders Another Look at Constitutionality of Obamacare

On Monday, the Supreme Court ordered the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider a case.

That case is Liberty University's challenge against Obamacare.

The university challenges that the mandated health care is unconstitutional, as it requires employers to pay for birth control.

Some forms of birth control, such as morning after and week after pills are seen as immoral by most religious communities.

Many have argued that forcing employers of religious organizations to do something against their faith, is a violation of their first amendment guarantee of religious freedom.

In 2010 a federal judge had rejected the claim and the appellate court later rejected it as well.

The Supreme Court's order gives new life to the claim, and once again brings awareness to the unconstitutionality of Obamacare.
