It can already force people to pay into the system for healthcare in general. As a consequence of that, people have less money to spend on "non-essential" procedures (ie, those that will not be covered under Obamacare for these sorts of political reasons). This is nonsense. The situation isn't just that the State is forcing Catholics to fund abortions but that in its failure to do so it is destroying the ability of individual citizens to get them. The Affordable Care Act is nominally supposed to take over for the functions the market is no longer able to provide due to the market distortions created by the Affordable Care Act. Now we have the market distortions but not the healthcare they were supposed to buy. So it's not just a question of the rights of the religious but of a system which has artificially put two different rights into conflict and solved this self-created problem by preferentially choosing one group over another, by necessity at the expense of human life and quality of life to some degree of another.
