Obama does a head fake on Obamacare contraception mandate

Religious groups won't be required to pay for contraception or the morning after pill as part of their health insurance plan, but they will be required to use an insurance company that provides it for free. If you needed proof Obama thinks you are stupid, here it is.
(FOX News)- President Obama plans to announce a plan Friday to accommodate religious organizations and others that are opposed to a new policy requiring contraceptive coverage for employees by making insurance companies the ones responsible for providing free contraception. 
The change would make the insurance companies, and not religious employers, responsible. Women would still have access to birth control without co-pays -- but religious schools and hospitals could refuse to cover it, passing the onus to the insurance companies. 
The change was described by a senior adviser as an "accommodation" -- but advisers said the announcement does not represent a "compromise."
