Since the Amish are a Christian sect, and thus can claim a religious exemption, and Muslims can claim an exemption based on their rejection of insurance, as a form of usury, it seems to me that a Christian religious doctrine could be reasonably established that would permit modern medicine, but only on a cash basis with health care providers.

Any third parties, such as the government, or insurers, would be excluded as usurious. Likewise, health providers from that Christian religious sect would reject all government or insurance involvement in their health care relationship with patients.

This means no electronic record keeping, and the only taxes levied would be sales and income taxes.

This would have the same basic idea as home schooling based on religious preferences.

Can anyone in existing Christian medical sharing pools also get out of Obamacare, since they are already practicing a system outside of “medical insurance”?

I’ve always heard that if you want to get rich don’t start a business. Start a religion. I’m going to start one. It’s “The Second Amish Christian Church of Texas”. Our belief is we are commanded not to do anything that’s not in the constitution but to take all health care that is available so we may be strong in fighting all of God’s enemies”.
