That is also one of the things that religious organizations are protesting. There is no right involved. There is no right to health care. Federal and state laws establish health care access and its application. That's all. Some people tend to commingle constitutional rights, natural rights, and statutes. Any court challenge to copay requirements would probably be based on the 14th amendment's requirement of equal protection of the the law. If it were successful, only then might one correctly claim a copay-related right.
