Amish, Muslims to be excused from Obamacare mandate?

Apparently, this exemption will apply similarly to believers in Islam, which considers health insurance - and, for that matter, any form of risk insurance - to be haraam (forbidden).

There is a space (%20) between “2010” a “/03” in the bad link — “2010 /03” is bad “2010/03” is good.

You can Report Abuse on yourself and ask the Mod to fix the OP.

Whatever they are called, they are just bodybags with a slit cut out for the eyes.

BS - under equal protection there should be no exemptions. This is discrimination.

I was going to become Amish but I think going Muslim is a lot easier. My new name is Abu Bin Said Mustapha Bin Shariff

The 0bama-trons were too cowardly to make the Amish part of socialized health care. No good comes from tangling with the Amish. You will only get bad PR for yourself and that is why they were made exempt

[Rashputin]

Thanks a lot. I copied it to something else and tried it to see if it worked, but copying from my test to here added the space, I guess when I cut it.

If this is true - we have to get Drudge to get it up on the Drudge Report plus Rush and Savage.

I foresee a court case demanding that Catholics be able to buy an insurance policy that doesn't cover abortion, contraception, sex change operations, sterilization, IVF, etc.

The fedgov cannot make a law privileging one religion over another. Period.

[Reaganesque]

Well then, it is against my religion to participate in this Marxist BS. Problem solved!

[Rashputin]

So that means they’ll be denied treatment, right?

Exactly, I want to see the first news reports of Muslims not being covered. I am holding my breath as you no doubt are as well.

My new name is Muhammed al Mustaafa. Now try to fine me, Mr. IRS!

My new Muslim name will be Cat Stevens.

Invent your OWN church!

I've considered it.

RashidPutin? Nah, doesn't work.

I’ve heard that Muslims have religious legal dodges to handle this kind of issue. They do something else that they don’t call insurance, but which handles the costs.

Look at my new DMV ID. Am I exempt from the mandate?
