More to the point, does your employer have the right to deny you medical coverage because you own firearms if it violates the company's religious freedoms or morals?
Yes.

At least, they should. If you don't like it, form a union and fight it, or seek employment elsewhere. Your employer doesn't owe you a job, just what you and they agree is a fair compensation for your labor.

Employers don't and shouldn't have that right.
If the employer objects to guns he is free to not own them but he can't discriminate against those that do.

Oh,
HIPPA is one of those intrusive .gov laws that so many here rant and rave about except when it works in our favor.

But unions are evil too, right?
Unions are not, as a concept, necessarily evil; it all depends on who's leading it and what their motives are. F'rinstance, the NFLPA did a damn fine job of looking out for both the players and the sport under Gene Upshaw, whereas the UAW did a damn fine job of pouring gasoline on the fire during the runup to the Delphi bankruptcy.

I don't think anyone is afraid of looking for a new job.
They are saying they shouldn't have to.

When an employer hires someone he buys their services, not their rights.

That last sentence is the money shot.

Also, you can tell who hasn't had to do any job searching lately, in this economy.
