And the cataract operation he is waiting for-------Medicare does not allow the state-of-the art cataract lens. If you want the really good lens, you pay out of your pocket. Or, too old for a heart transplant-------have a friend who is alive because of a heart transplant------he was about 55 and received the heart of a young man killed in a car accident as he himself was failing rapidly after his retirement as a minister. Amazingly now, he is keeping his farm going as a 20 year old would do. It is truly a miracle. Also know of a musician who got a heart transplant in his late 80's but only because his son was a doctor and got him in for a transplant. He will be playing into his hundreds. Under Obamacare and medicare both of these men would have been rejected. mj

Muslims exempt from obamacare.....WTF! libertyandpride.com There are several reasons why an individual could claim exemption, being a member of a religion that does not believe in insurance is one of them. Islam is one of those religions. Muslims believe that health insurance is “haraam”, or forbidden; because they liken the ambiguity and probability of insurance to gambling. This belief excludes them from any of the requirements, mandates, or penalties set forth in the bill. Other excluded groups include Amish, American Indians, and Christian Scientists. So if Muslims are exempt from the bill because they don’t believe in insurance, can Christians be exempt from the bill and any associated taxes because they don’t believe in abortion? Not likely.
