No Obamacare for Muslims (EXEMPT!!!!)

LibertyAndPride ^

The new Obamacare legislation that was forced on unwilling Americans this week specifically mandates that we all purchase health insurance. That is, unless you don’t believe in that sort of thing. That’s right, the current health care bill contains a clause which exempts certain individuals form the requirements and penalties set forth in it.

” EXEMPTIONS FROM INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.

—In the case of an individual who is seeking an exemption certificate under section 1311(d)(4)(H) from any requirement or penalty imposed by section 5000A, the following information:

In the case of an individual seeking exemption based on the individual’s status as a member of an exempt religious sect or division, as a member of a health care sharing ministry, as an Indian, or as an individual eligible for a hardship exemption, such information as the Secretary shall prescribe.”

Senate Bill, H.R. 3590, pages 273-274

There are several reasons why an individual could claim exemption, being a member of a religion that does not believe in insurance is one of them. Islam is one of those religions. Muslims believe that health insurance is “haraam”, or forbidden; because they liken the ambiguity and probability of insurance to gambling. This belief excludes them from any of the requirements, mandates, or penalties set forth in the bill. Other excluded groups include Amish, American Indians, and Christian Scientists.

For this reason, we choose to license AIG Takaful-Enaya with the Central Bank of Bahrain.

Any questions?

I have no problem with their exemption as long as they pay cash up front for any medical services they need.

[twister881]

My name is Al-gore, and I worship Gaia, cheeseburgers, and masseuses — I’m exempt.

“I am an Indian.

My grandfather had high cheekbones.”

I’ve got a recipe for crab dip with tomato mayonaise - can I get an exemption?

Muslims also believe that funding or supporting abortion in any way, shape or form is “haraam”, or forbidden” except in extraordinary circumstances.

And Muslims are exempt from Deathcare.

Get it? Christians get to kill their young and MUST PAY for any others who are on Deathcare to ALSO KILL their young.

So, islam gets to have infidels kill themselves. After all, little babies aren’t beheaded literally, just injected with poison in their brains or having their neck severed, right?

How easy is that? /cold-blood

and yet Catholic organizations are forced to purchase abortion insurance

Maybe the Pope needs to declare abortion “haraam”

[JerseyHighlander]

This isn’t true.

There is no monolithic “Islam” in the US or anywhere else in the world.

While some small sects might qualify, to do so they must simultaneously gain a religious exemption from Social Security, and no Muslim sect in the US has done so already, and no sect is in the process of doing so AFAIK.

It is possible for very strict Islamic sects to qualify for exemptions, none have done so to date.

To put it in perspective, saying “No Obamacare for Muslims (EXEMPT!!!!)” because a small sect of Muslims are exempt is equivalent to saying No Obamacare for Christians (EXEMPT!!!!) because the Christian Scientists Sect is exempt.

I think SS is the same way, or at least I'm pretty sure the Amish and other organized religions with objections to commercial insurance are exempt from Social Security (if they existed prior to some arbitrary date).

So nice to be respected because you claim to be a member of an organized religion, rather than simply holding some silly principles.

For some brands of “fast food,”mayberday, maybe Obamacare’s death panels are redundant?

[Figment]

Why does anyone eat that crap? I don’t do fast food often(once every couple of years) but when I do It’s never one of the big three. I haven’t had McDonalds in over twenty years

[Figment]

What is next? A tax based upon COLOR?

Bring back the poll tax, after all it’s only a tax

[HenpeckedCon]

Great, just claim to be a Mooselimb and we’ll all be exempt.

[madison10]

Sorry, no one is exempt from a TAX.

[SueRae]

I hang Indian corn on my door in the Autumn. That qualifies, doesn’t it?

How about playing an Indian an a 3rd grade play on Thanksgiving?

[faithhopecharity]

Obamacare -— one big scheme to force America to convert to -islamism ? (Otherwise, prepare to pay obamacare’s 21 new taxes — and face obamacare’s “death panels”). Sorry about that, just a bad dream

I feel a little bit of Amish coming on.
