Geezus!!! Are they taking cancer or HIV meds?? That’s awful!

I am not sure but neither of them have those diseases.

What is for sure is that more and more people are going to start having problems with getting the meds they need with the government making all the decisions.

People are also busy getting procedures done ahead of full Obamacare implementation.

Yep. Medical savings account paired with a low cost crisis type plan.

Won't those be outlawed under Obamacare? A catastrophic plan won't meet the minimum requirements so a penalty will be assessed.

Brilliant assessment! And sadly true.

Yes, as I understand it, they will not be an option in the future.

I was talking about how to do it now so that it makes sense.

It’s sad they are taking that freedom away from us. We were going to retire early, and use the HSA option. It would fit us perfectly. Now we have to get Obamacare, pay more - much more, and get substandard insurance.

“Where? I thought you need a marriage license before the church will do any marriage ceremony. [California]”

Everywhere. A church can marry you in a religious ceremony without your obtaining a state license. Some won’t do it, but there is nothing to prohibit them from marrying you in a religious ceremony. In the secular sense, you won’t be married, but in the religious sense you will.

Ancient history now, but in the past certain states wouldn’t issue licenses to marry to mixed race couples. The Catholic churches in particular would simply marry the couples in a religious ceremony and in effect tell the state to go pound sand.

“Indeed, I ask where as well! I know homosexuals did it for years, but I know of no clergy who will without the license.”

You’ll have to look. I know that Catholic priests have the option to do so, but generally won’t absent a grave consideration. E.g. state prohibition on mixed race marriages.

I think it will be more common in coming years as various churches become unwilling to play ball on an ever evolving definition of legal marriage...which is likely to include an arrangement with 3 women, two men, and a wombat named Bob.
