The recent hobby lobby ruling shows that employees are subject to unjust restriction of their civil liberties by their employer's religious beliefs by tying their purchase of healthcare to their employer sponsored plans via tax law.
By allowing all persons to deduct health care and insurance costs purchased independently from any employer plan, employees would be freed to choose healthcare unburdened from the moral restrictions of their employer that they may not agree with.
