,care ,conscience ,rights ,act4 7b7 ,findings ,congress finds the following3 7#a7 ,as ,thomas ,jefferson declared to ,new ,london ,methodists in #ahji1 no provision in our ,constitution ought to be dearer to man than that which protects the rights of conscience against the enterprises of the civil authority4 7#b7 ,jefferson's conviction on respect for conscience is deeply embedded in the history and traditions of our ,nation1 and codified in numerous ,federal laws approved by congressional majorities and ,presidents of both parties1 including in the ,public ,health ,service ,act2 the ,united ,states ,leadership ,against ,,hiv_/,,aids1 ,tuberculosis1 and ,malaria ,act2 the ,religious ,freedom ,restoration ,act2 longstanding provisions on respect for conscience rights in the ,federal ,employees ,health ,benefits ,program and ,district of ,columbia appropriations2 and laws to protect individuals from being forced to participate in ,federal executions or prosecutions4 7#c7 ,following enactment of the ,patient ,protection and ,affordable ,care ,act 7,public ,law #aaa-adh1 in this section referred to as ,,ppaca71 the ,federal ,government has sought to impose specific requirements that infringe on the rights of conscience of those who offer or purchase health coverage4 7#d7 ,while ,,ppaca provides an exemption for some religious groups that object to participation in health insurance generally1 and exempts millions of ,americans from most of the ,act's provisions1 including the preventive services mandate1 it fails to provide statutory protection for those seeking to offer and purchase health coverage who have a religious or moral objection only to specific items or services4 7#e7 ,nurses and other health care providers have increasingly been subjected to discrimination for abiding by their conscience rather than providing1 paying for1 or referring for abortion4 7#f7 ,conscience rights protections for health care providers are an important part of civil rights protections in ,federal law and are indispensable to the continued viability of the health care system in the ,united ,states4 ,the increasingly significant discrimination suffered by faith-based nonprofit health care providers risks undermining access to high-quality compassionate care for some of the most vulnerable populations in our country4 7c7 ,applying longstanding policy on
