Your real question should be whether or...Anonymous,<br />Your real question should be whether or not a Jehovah's witness working for a non-J.W. employer should be compelled to pay for other people's transfusions. <br /> <br />Here, I say, no.<br /><br />Witnesses deserve First Amendment protection as well. I don't know the judicial precedents involved, but I'm assuming the Jehovah's witnesses are considered an "established religion" and so deserve protection, in my opinion. I would say there should be a fair accommodation, e.g. some sort of voucher to be put toward a policy of like believers.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581989936725006495.post-9264949490907003512012-07-09T22:43:04.021-07:002012-07-09T22:43:04.021-07:00Anonymous . . .

If the individual is unhappy with what is offered, he or she is free to not accept the job offer or to pay for his or her own plan outside of the confines of the employer's plan. <br /><br />There is nothing that compels an individual to work for such a company.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581989936725006495.post-12025075707660748152012-05-15T06:33:17.167-07:002012-05-15T06:33:17.167-07:00The Separation of Church and State goes both ways....The Separation of Church and State goes both ways.
