BARTLESVILLE, Oklahoma – Oklahoma Wesleyan University is planning to sue the Obama administration, as well as the Department of Health and Human Services and its director over the Affordable Care Act.
Oklahoma Wesleyan University says Obamacare violates its freedom of religious expression. The school’s president says the provision requiring coverage of certain kinds of contraceptives is simply unacceptable.
OKWU is an evangelical school, associated with the Wesleyan Church. Its campus proudly displays its mission to follow God’s teachings and make scripture a priority. The school’s president says it plans to sue the federal government to keep that mission alive.
Everett Piper announced Monday the school is suing over the Affordable Care Act, specifically, over mandates that require employee health plans to include all FDA approved contraceptives.
