What do Muslims believe about insurance?
excerpt:
"In countries with exhorbitant health care costs, one could argue that compassion for those who are ill takes precedence over a dislike of health insurance. A Muslim has a duty to ensure that people who are ill can access affordable health care. In 2010, for example, several prominent American Muslim organizations supported President Obama's health care reform proposal, under the belief that access to affordable health care is a fundamental human right."
Making care contingent on proselytization is also offensive to our prinmciples, which are based on the Good Samaritan, who cared for the injured Jew and didn't try to make his worship in Samaria.
Doesn’t work for me because I’m old and reaping the “benefits” of my 40 yrs of contributions to SS & Med.
But for young people it looks like an interesting option.
Thanks! My cousin was freaking out. So I did the FR test. Thanks again!
Yeah Obamacare is bad enough as it is.
Every time I read part of it I get a headache.
Muslims are exempt. Christians can’t catch a break with today’s politicians.
It wasn't in the bill but after the bill passed, Obama was handing out exemptions like a whore handing out condoms at a Democrat National Convention. I thought I read that Muslims were exempt but I don't know what that entails. The unions were also given exemptions but that was until 2018.
Just show me a link and I’ll believe it.
Until then what I know is what I posted about Amish and Mennonites.
Here’s the current list of waiver recipients to help your search:

I can’t find it. Everywhere I look, people have linked to the government site and now the site has changed and doesn’t mention the people who are exempt.
Agreed, but the Church is going to have to arrive at a solution. There is every chance that the court will not find for the Bishops and even if they do there is no certainty that a reelected Obama will follow the dictum of the Court. My thought would show the absolute intensity of the Church’s refusal to see its teachings held hostage by the govt.
I just saw what you’ve posted and I’m going to now take a look. sorry about that.
They've been exempted all along, even though some of their clerics have complained about the religious warfare waged on any religion (or person of conscience) that opposes any part of Obamacare on First Amendment grounds.
It's more than just Catholics, but 0bama recognizes the Catholic Church as political low-hanging fruit. Muzzie opposition is recognized as a low-hanging IED, so things get avoided and overlooked.
Members of Congress are not exempt. That is a falsehood that’s been circulating for a long time:
