Should employers be allowed to deny chemotherapy coverage to employees?

Sure, we ought to have a single payer health insurance plan that would obviate the need for mandated employer coverage.  But, we don't and it's not going to happen in the near future in all likelihood. 

In our current framework, we ought to have a basic minimum to qualify as health insurance.  The employer's idiosyncratic beliefs about medical issues should be irrelevant.  You need a basic standard and we at some point need to make judgements based on empirical medical facts, not kooky beliefs. 

Unfortunately, the people who pushed the contraception situation have a host of potential targets, forget cancer drugs.  It's really anything that could theoretically interfere with implantation that could be exempted.  Something like ibuprofen is a perfect example because a far-right Christian considers ibuprofen to be tantamount to an abortion by their logic.
