No Obamacare for Muslims.

Great, we aren’t going to treat them at all. Sounds fine with me. Now they just need to say No Obamacare for Illegals and we won’t treat them either.

Sounds like a good plan.

(yes I know that’s not what they mean)

[TigersEye]

There won’t be much 0bamaCare for anybody else either. After about ten years of it those who can’t see a doctor will probably count themselves lucky compared to those who manage to get an appointment.

Sounds like establishment of religion to me.

Further proof it’s unconstitutional

[ApplegateRanch]

“...no law respecting the establishment of religion...”

“recognized sect”

I see a conflict:

“We roller skate to the Greater Glory of Ghu, Overlord Of All Creation; and insuring ourselves against injury would be blasphemy, as it would be an attempt to profit from his just punishments for bad skating or other sinful deficiencies...”. Brrrrp! NOT Recognized!

“We prefer a Christian medical co-op, which relies on faith and prayer and voluntary charitable giving...” Brrrrrp! NOT recognized!

Amish, Mennonites, Muslims, Christian Scientists, ...: DING-DING-DING! RECOGNIZED!

This is de facto establishment by disestablishing certain religions, and only respecting certain religious beliefs, which are NOT illegal as being against the public good, such as human sacrifice.

To bad a lay citizen's logic has no legal bearing on what an out of control government wishes to impose upon us all.

“However, what argument will Christians be able to make for exemption? Will they be able to claim exemption due to a moral conflict with publicly funded abortions? Not likely.”

Not true.

These three orgs I believe qualify for the exemption. One Freeper has told me good things about the first one, Samaritan Ministries. I believe one of the rules is that the health sharing org has to have been operating since 1999. It is the same rule that exempts the Amish.

"Muslims believe that health insurance is “haraam”, or forbidden; because they liken the ambiguity and probability of insurance to gambling."

Sooo....let's see if I have this correct. Muslims can "opt out" cause they see insurance as gambling, which they are against...but Christians, who see insurance that funds abortions as condoning, enabling and paying for murder, which they are against, can NOT opt out.

Got it. It seems that some religions are more 'equal' than others.

Earth to the leftist/commie Marxist Zero and his cabal/axis of evil in DC:

SCREW YOU!

Hussein 0bama takes care of his own.

Another example of preferential treatment for Muslims. What’s next — no security search at airports?

However, what argument will Christians be able to make
for exemption?

Families who belong to Christian health care co-ops will
be exempt from having to participate on Obama's health-
care legislation. The requirements may be rigid,
mandating that the person be able to document active articipation
in the co-op as well being active in
faith groups. It's not clear exactly what the
rule-making will require,but it's expected that
requirements will require the co-op members be able to
provide substantive proof that they are actively
committed to the tenets of the Church group,
according to a Notre Dame law professor.
As for the co-op, it must have been in existence since
1999, must retain members even if they become ill,
and conduct annual audits.

MSNBC--my body reacts horribly for having to type those
letters--reported on this in April. It must have upset
them because they ran a poll as to whether or not this
is a good thing.
