Update on the 'Walk Back'

Here is the White House press release concerning today's 'walkback' from the erstwhile contours of the HHS mandate: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/02/10/fact-sheet-women-s-preventive-services-and-religious-institutions .  (The grammar of the thing's inelegant, to say the least, which perhaps is testimony to the speed with which the White House came to realize that it must act.)  It is gratifying to see that the onus is being placed upon insurers, as Tom and I have hoped aloud since Wednesday.  Still awaited, though, is the specific guideline concerning how, if at all, religiously affiliated institutions are to make their employees aware of the continued availability of contraception coverage from their insurers.  Stay tuned.
