Well looks like am going to join that Amish Church that my Great, Great Grandfather built-----or pull up those Cherokee ancestors. So who is left to pay--------the Muslims in the D.C. area are some of the wealthiest people yet they would according to this article be exempt from buying insurance. Can't claim to be a Christian Scientist-----but of course one could join and increase their membership. How about the Catholics, the Presbyterians, the Baptist, my Jewish friends,-------my Buddhist friends, my Shinto friends---what does this do to Jehovah Witnesses. And, the atheist-----what will they do-----is Atheism a religion. If this is true--------as noted in this link-----then this is all the more reason to throw the bums out who voted for this legislation and demand a recall of Obama who claims to be both Christian and Muslim as noted in his campaign. Muslims exempt from obamacare.....WTF! libertyandpride.com

<<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.>> Non-Sequitur. The bill does not contain an abortion mandate.

Proud_Infidel....so I wonder if any jobs are created by hussein obama in moslum pakistan? Indian firms hope to cash in on U.S. health-care law By Rama Lakshmi Washington Post Foreign Service Thursday, March 25, 2010 washingtonpost.com NEW DELHI -- While the contentious political battle over the new health-care law continues in the United States, in India the outsourcing industry is seeing it as a boon for business and is salivating over its prospects. Indian companies are working with U.S. insurers handling back-office operations, including claims processing, supply management and transcription services. The extension of health care to 32 million Americans over the next decade will mean that the need for those services will grow, executives here said. "The health-care reform bill is a very, very big opportunity for us," said Ananda Mukerji, managing director of Firstsource Solutions. He said about 40 percent of the company's business comes from dozens of U.S. hospitals and insurance companies. "A big part of what we do for the American companies is eligibility assessment services, where we assess eligibility of a patient for the Medicare program. We also work with hospitals to submit claims and enroll new patients. With the new bill, all this work will increase," he said. The new law requires some insurance companies to devote more of the premiums they receive to direct health care and away from administrative costs. "The health-care . . . law will create a huge pressure on American insurance companies to cut costs," said Rana Mehta, vice president of health care at Technopak, an independent consultancy firm in Gurgaon. "Ultimately it is a business decision to outsource. All this new work has to go somewhere, and India will gain." India's outsourcing industry was shaken last year when President Obama declared that he wanted to change "a tax code that says you should pay lower taxes if you a create job in Bangalore, India, than if you create one in Buffalo, New York." It has responded with new efforts to reach out to U.S. workers. In anticipation of the health-care law, many Indian companies are establishing a toehold in the United States by negotiating mergers and acquisitions in recent months. This month, Patni Computer Systems, India's sixth-largest IT firm, set up an office in El Paso after a multimillion-dollar deal with a U.S. health-care company. "We plan to use El Paso as a major hub to deliver health-care services that are required by regulators to keep sensitive data-processing operations onshore," Sanjiv Kapur, head of Patni Business Process Outsourcing, said by e-mail. Instead of "offshoring" work, Mukerji, of Firstsource Solutions, calls it "right-shoring," combining employees in India and the United States. He said his company employs 2,000 Americans. "President Obama made that famous statement about outsourcing of jobs last year," Mukerji said. "Today, I would like to say to him that we have created jobs in both Buffalo and Bangalore."
