Muslims are exempt from Obamacare’s insurance mandate.
Finding out what’s in it: Muslims are exempt from Obamacare’s insurance mandate.
ObamaCare uses the Social Security language of the Internal Revenue Code to determine who is eligible for “religious conscience” objection to the insurance mandate. Specifically, the law provides exemptions for adherents of “recognized religious sects” that are “conscientiously opposed” to accepting benefits from any insurance, public or private.
As a consequence of this provision, Muslims may claim a religious exemption that is denied Christians and Jews. Since Islam believes insurance is haraam (forbidden) and likens insurance to gambling, the religion is excluded from requirements, mandates, or penalties set forth in the bill. Others who fall into this category are the Amish, American Indians, and Christian Scientists. Although the U.S. Constitution grants all Americans equal protection of the law, some Americans are more equal than others.
Not only must this catastrophe of a law be repealed, we voters have got to remove as many as possible of the incompetent elected officials who wrote and voted for it.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

For all those liberals quick to cry out the praddle “separation of church and state”, I say to them: where are you now? I can’t hear you; you hypocites and charlatans. I love this county and have sworn to defend the Constitution as a commissioned reserve officer in the USAF. This Obamacare travesty MUST be ruled unconstitutinal in totality by the Supreme Court or this country is truly at a pivot point that will reset us into fundamentally different system of governance….i.e. STATE CONTROLLED CAPITALISM as China’s bitch through the 21 century.
Well stated, & I thank you for your service to our present representative republic (If Barack is reelected that republic could very well become extinct).
Good points, Bob. It will be vital for citizens to pressure Congress and Romney (assuming the election goes well) to have a single full repeal vote, and to resist the pressure from special interests to just remove a few dozen or hundred of the worst pages and leave the skeleton of Dracula intact. One clean vote to drive the stake through its heart, and then hold votes on free-market improvements.
