The Hobby Lobby case refers to the 2014 Supreme Court decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., which ruled that closely held for-profit companies could refuse to provide certain contraceptive coverage mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) based on religious objections. The Court held that this requirement violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), allowing Hobby Lobby, a Christian-owned craft store chain, to opt out of covering contraceptives that conflicted with their religious beliefs. This landmark decision emphasized the balance between corporate rights and individual religious freedoms in the context of healthcare.
