Sam hangs out at the Center of the Left...if that answers your question. Who fact checks the "so called" fact checkers anyway? ;-)

Why don't you just check out their sources? Or go to page 107 of the health care law yourself and check out the veracity of the claim about exemptions? You can always go to a library and ask a reference librarian for help if you want--reference librarians love to help people find things like that. They are by nature inquisitive detectives. Good ones are, anyway. No one gets everything one hundred percent right. Personally, I like factcheck's answer in this instance better than snopes'. It is more detailed and complete. But they both do, for the most part, pretty good jobs of investigating allegations like the one you cited. If you don't think they are right, you can check their sources or find other sources to debunk them. I have seen them print corrections before, although I can't point to one offhand. I have also occasionally disagreed with their conclusions--sometimes what they say depends on interpretation more than fact, and there is room for disagreement. In this case, though, there is no room for disagreement. The claim that Muslims will get some sort of special exemption from the ACA is simply a straightforward lie. Here, if you want to do your own research, is a link to the text of the law: healthcare.gov Open the pdf file and go to page 107. So now you have lots of choices: (1) you can believe an email that has been circulating for years; (2) you look at the law itself, and see if page 107 actually says what the email says it says; (3) you can look at snopes or factcheck or another site (urbanlegends.com is another one, here is their answer: urbanlegends.about.com ); (4) you can go to a library and do your own research with the help of a reference librarian. Take your pick. Here is what the above link points to: Read the Law The Affordable Care Act was passed by Congress and then signed into law by the President on March 23, 2010.
