Muslims Exempt From Obamacare
Liberty and Pride ^ | March 26, 2010 | Conservative American

Posted on 03/26/2010 2:37:51 PM PDT by csd

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

Well, then. It looks like Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox members, and others who were party to The Manhatten Declaration, should also be exempt.

If this legislation had been sponsored by a GOP Congress and POTUS - the atheists would have a field day.

Wonder if the ACLU will put the kabosh on this Section?

Holding my breath and my burkha!!!!!

Anyone know if the slightly-less-strict branches of the Mennonite church are allowed the same exemptions as the Amish?

Maybe they will be exempt from the coverage but not the taxes.

Where I’m moving, I’ll be buying a lot of my dry goods at the local Amish market. I’ll have to check their beliefs. Maybe I can just claim to be Amish.

The muslim thing would not work though.

I’ve never heard of them getting an exemption from car insurance. They have to do it, so they accept it. So any Muslim waiver in this bill is just bowing down to them.

Looks like a lot of knee-jerking going on here. From what I’ve learned about health care sharing ministries that are said to be exempt, the title of this thread could easily be “Christians Exempt From ObamaCare”.

Looks like an avenue that can be used to make this travesty as complex and difficult to implement as possible. We are ALL members of exempted classes and should file as such. And when they deny one claim file another using a different expempted class.


That’s right. I started a religion yesterday, that regards ice rinks as holy and hockey pucks as offerings to my god. Turns out that this religion prohibits me from belonging to government mandated health insurance. I’ll be filing my claim ASAP.

I hereby am starting a new religion. It will be called
“The Church of the Healing All Manner of Sickness and Every Infirmity”-
Here our religion expressly forbids use of any government funds for staying healthy based upon Matthew 4, 23-25; 6, 25, Proverbs 4,22:
“And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom: and healing all manner of sickness and every infirmity, among the people. 24 And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and lunatics, and those that had the palsy, and he cured them” —

Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” —

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?” —

“My son, hearken to my words, and incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from your eyes, keep them in the midst of your heart: 22 For they are life to those that find them, and health to all flesh.”

Where do I file?

That is interesting, perhaps I’ll be looking into joining one... You’ve got to admit, that it is still a bit troubling that Muslims and other religions can claim exemption simply by being a member of said religion; meanwhile Christians have to jump through hoops
