LINCOLN, Neb. The U.S.Justice Department is asking ajudge to dismiss a lawsuit filed byseveral states that challenges a newfederal health care rule thatrequires contraception coveragefor emp loyees of chu rch-affiliatedhospitals, schools and outreachprograms.Nebraska Attorney General JonBruning, who is leading the suit,

scoffed at the request Tuesday, not-ing that the department haspushed the rule's enforcementdeadline to next year after theNovember elections and hasn'tdetailed how it plans in the mean-time to address religious groups'concerns."Regardless of the continuouspromises of change offered by thisadministration, the results are noth-ing more than bait and switch," theRepublican, who is running for U.S.

Senate, said.Department lawyers argued forthe lawsuit's dismissal in courtpapers filed late Monday, notingthat they have agreed not toenforce the rule until August 201 3and have promised to work withreligious groups.The lawsuit alleges that the newrule violates the First Amend mentrights of groups that object to theuse of contraceptives. It was filed inU.S. District Court of Nebraska by

Bruning and his fellow GOP attor-neys general from Florida, M ichi-gan, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Car-olina and Texas. ThreeNebraska-based groups are alsoplaintiffs, as are a nun and a femalemissionary.The rule was announced as partof the federal health care law and came under fire in Februaryfrom religious groups that object tothe use of contraceptives, steriliza-tion and abortion-inducing drugs.

In response to the criticism, Presi-dent Barack Obama's administra-tion has said it would shift therequirement from the employers tohealth insurers themselves.The lawsuit alleges that the rulewill effectively force religiousemployers and organizations todrop health insurance coverage,which will raise enrollment in stateMedicaid programs and increasepatient numbers at state-subsidizedhospitals and medical centers.
