All the hooplah has died down about Obamacare, but I’m still PRETTY steamed about it. I find it unconscionable that Americans will be forced to pay for that crap. AND if we don’t, be fined to the gills, sicced on by the IRS, or thrown in prison.
It’s unconscionable!!!!
Then there’s this– some groups are claiming exemption because of their faith, such as the Amish. I think that’s great– hey I would be a conscientious objector, right!
Wrong. 
The recent health-care reform legislation carries a controversial mandate that all Americans obtain health insurance, but careful study of the passed law reveals there are some groups – the Amish, for example – that can obtain an exemption.
For devout Muslims, however, whose religious beliefs forbid purchasing insurance, the mandate is still binding, religion or not. And most other religious, political or conscientious objectors will similarly find themselves out of luck if they hope to be excused from the requirement.
There is a clause in the fine print, however, that could provide an out for those willing to take it.
Section 1501 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act adds a new chapter to the Internal Revenue Code mandating all “applicable” individuals either obtain health insurance that meets the bill’s “minimum essential coverage” standards or pay a penalty on tax day.
Those wicked politicians are using the income tax as a way to control us. The power to tax is the power to destroy and all that.
*sigh*
My faith isn’t against caring for my health. Like DUH. But it IS against having the government care for it!!
I don’t understand why more people aren’t screaming against this. Maybe they are lulled into believing that they will get free stuff and still be able to live a comfortable lifestyle (because other people are paying for it) and make their own health care decisions (not!). You think the politicians are going to let you keep sucking on those electronic cigarettes and eating eclairs all day???? NOT! Wake up, folks! The whole thing is incredibly insane.
