Heard Erick just now talking about corporations granting “healthcare” for people who elect to travel for “healthcare.” From LinkedIn and Dick’s sporting goods CEO right on cue.
At DICK’S, our teammates are the heart of our business, and we are committed to protecting their health and well-being.
Today, the Supreme Court announced a decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, removing the federal right to an abortion and leaving the decision up to each state.
While we do not know what decision each state will make in response to this ruling, we at DICK’S Sporting Goods are prepared to ensure that all of our teammates have consistent and safe access to the benefits we provide, regardless of the state in which they live.
In response to today’s ruling, we are announcing that if a state one of our teammates lives in restricts access to abortion, DICK’S Sporting Goods will provide up to $4,000 in travel expense reimbursement to travel to the nearest location where that care is legally available. This benefit will be provided to any teammate, spouse or dependent enrolled in our medical plan, along with one support person.
We recognize people feel passionately about this topic -- and that there are teammates and athletes who will not agree with this decision. However, we also recognize that decisions involving health and families are deeply personal and made with thoughtful consideration. We are making this decision so our teammates can access the same health care options, regardless of where they live, and choose what is best for them.
Wow, Biden's speech is stunningly (well maybe not for him) stupid.
"A concerted effort over decades..." you mean the democratic process?
"Unprecedented, take away a Constitutional right", no it affirmed it never was a Constitutional right.
"Take us back 150 years", ??? Um
Oh, conception... not even on the table.
"Search medicine cabinets", well actually there is a Constitutional protection there, and Griswald v. Connecticut affirmed it.
All this is an emotional plea and a campaign speech. You can't actually challenge the legal basis of the decision.
