And where is the stopping point to the "let the government pay" alternative?

Does it rank as a less restrictive alternative to require the government to provide the money or benefit to which the employer has a religion-based objection?
-- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her dissent to the court's decision to allow Hobby Lobby to refrain, on religious grounds, from providing contraceptive coverage as required by Obamacare, 30 June 2014
