Re “The Freedom to Choose Birth Control” (editorial, Feb. 11):
I am struck by the quandary the United States has on issues like these by maintaining an employer-based health insurance system. If we Americans had a national single-payer system that covered all of our people, the arguments against infringement on religious liberty would be a moot point.
All women would have open access to birth control, and Catholic institutions would be free to advocate their position without private employer insurance being used as a wedge issue to divide our population.
