"[It] is not Plaintiffs' self-certification that authorizes or obligates the TPA to ensure the objectionable contraceptive coverage; it is the ACA that does so.... Completing and submitting the form to the TPA 'simply shifts the financial burden from [Plaintiffs] to the government.' ... Through the ACA's accommodation, Plaintiffs have the right to be exempted from participating in, providing, or paying for the costs associated with the objectionable contraceptive coverage based on their sincere religious beliefs, but they have no right to prevent a third party (who does not hold those same religious objections) from meeting the ACA's requirements." [Diocese of Cheyenne v. Sebelius, No. 14-CV-21-SWS (D. Wyo. May 13, 2014)]
