I had a block placed on my college registration due to a lack of health insurance. I screamed incessantly until the nurse at the campus medical center flipped over a piece of paper and pointed to the religious exemption waiver I could sign to get out of this requirement.

No. Voting at the ballot box will insure I don’t comply with Obamacare.

You will have to register your religion with the state. Approved religions will be exempt.

For devout Muslims, however, whose religious beliefs forbid purchasing insurance...

Rubbish. To find out how Moslem insurance works, just look up Takaful.

Not likely to have a big effect IMO. People who don’t actually participate should generally be dropped.

But what is bad is that if they join and they participate for a couple of months and then just stop--can really mess up the program.

Illegal aliens, foreign nationals and incarcerated prisoners, for example, are exempt from the mandate.

IMO, that is one of the more odious parts of the bill. It means that these people will have greater rights than law-abiding citizens. Specifically, the right to refuse.

It should sort itself out over time. I suspect that people who’ve dropped before won’t be quickly let back in. And they will have good reason to keep contributing: If they don’t, they become subject to Obamacare.

The bigger problem IMO is admission of people who may not really adhere to all of the values who have come in because they now have added incentive to do so. However, hopefully screening is good enough that this won’t be a major issue.

On the other side of the coin, the larger these programs get, the more stable they tend to become. So there are some potential positives as well.

If my 1st Amendment Freedoms don’t free me from Obamacare.. My 2nd Amendment Freedoms sure will.

That about sums it up!

I like the caller to talk radio about a month ago. She said if you want to add a room onto your house, you don’t tear down the whole house first. So you shouldn’t destroy the US Healthcare system to add a few million more people to it. Simple explanation. Of course we know it is NOT about healthcare, it is marxism.

I have no problems helping people that truly need help. I have a problem helping people that could help themselves but don’t because they’re too lazy or their cheating the system.

From what I have read, yes. And the thing is what you pay in actually goes directly to people in need. It’s not wasted or sucked up in administrative costs.

Well, of course, that will free the muzzies—but they are not above accepting it for free like state run medicare/medicaid plans—
