This IS probably an alternative for employees at places like Hobby Lobby. And since they get paid crap they would probably have very cheap insurance, especially if this Hobby Lobby job isn't a 2nd or 3rd income in the household.
But to me that shouldn't mean Hobby Lobby gets let off the hook. They should provide full health coverage, which includes well-woman services, which includes reproductive control. I'm sorry to the world that women are more expensive than men. But for a company who probably 99% of their customers are women, they should be more in tune with women's issues. Support the home team and all that.

If Hobby Lobby employees apply for ACA coverage, they won't be eligible for subsidies. If your employer (or your spouse's) offers coverage, you are not eligible for a subsidy. This is problematic for many of my company's lower paid employees who can't afford our premiums or our $3,000 deductible, but aren't eligible for a decent rate under the ACA.
