Now the Amish are a different story, and it's possible but unlikely that they could be found exempt, since they are exempt from paying some other taxes. In particular, self-employed Amish do not pay Social Security tax. Those employed by non-Amish employers do pay Social Security tax. The Amish do however pay real estate, state and federal income taxes, county taxes, sales tax, etc. So it's hard to see them being exempt from paying for Obamacare.
Ergo, the government is giving them a waiver for religious reasons on some taxes and not others. Therefore, the gov is deciding what is a recognized religious belief and what is not.
That is exactly where the HL case is currently. This is a very serious issue considering how the USSC is stocked.
God help us!!!
