    Unfortunately, just another attempt at making the AFCA “bad”.
    Are they going to make sure Viagra is unavailable as well? With respects to “religious reasons” to make the program “bad”. Covering Birth control makes logical sense. Why bring additional children into an impoverished environment with people who do not know when to quit.
    Another attempt by the church to “keep woman in their place”.
    The AFCA is working just fine in all the states that put together their own exchange. The only problem is IT. I do not know of any program out there that was bug free upon its first release.

    Interesting that to obtain the subsidy, you have to show proof of id, but you do not have to show proof of ID to vote. I heard those poeple that thought proof of ID was a good thing were racist.

    What is the Democratic party that requires proof of ID for promised handouts from those non-Id carrying individuals that elected them?

      PM, you must have read the same article I did in Freedom Outpost. Title was Obama is a Racist for Promoting Obamacare. He accuses Republicans of being racist for requiring a photo ID to vote since the poor people may not be able to do that. When these poor people try to get on Medicaid, they have to furnish 1. Birth Certificate or passport or 2. Power of light bill showing their address or 3. Something that shows their Social Security number or 4. recent pay check stub or tax return. Hmm! Obama must be a racist for all this.

    I wonder if OBama factored in the cost of all this litigation when he did his cost estimates on this thing?
    When is he going to realize this is a bad law and scrap it?

      FFA, The attorney’s in today’s society are operating in the most litegious society in the history of the world. Plaintiff’s, defendants, government all on retainder or salaried. They love it whether they win or lose because they will be paid. I really don’t think Obama counted on all this. He thought it would just sail through and everyone would be happy about it. Just dictate to the American people the Socialist Dream and they will love it once they find out what is in it or so he and minion Nancy thought.

        Let’s see, how about the cost consideration for the jobs program military we have. The wars on terror and drugs.

        Those on the political Left never consider cost, as long as they think they’re not paying for whatever the latest government give-away is.

        It is no surprise that the Millenials, who most often lean Left through youthful idealism, supported Obamacare becoming law. Now they’re running away from the Left in droves when waking up to the fact they are the target bearing the most disproportionate cost of the (Un)Affordable Care Act. They’re now discovering self interest, realizing that conserving one’s hard-earned assets isn’t evil as the Left always taught them.

    There should be no religious exemptions for anything. If you’re going to make stuff up that’s OK, just keep it within your own chosen cult.

      Especially in the tax code. Those evangelical ministers rely heavily on the tithes from their flock so they can buy expensive suits, cars, and jewelry for their stay at home wives and their prostitute girlfriends.

        You’re a disgusting, worthless, delusional, hate filled, piece of trash.

        I’m sure that is entirely what the funds for religious exemptions go to.

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_health_care

        Ooops! The Catholic church is the primary provider of health care services for those in need in the world. You want to tax the largest non governmental provider of near free care? HOW DARE YOU. You hate filled piece of garbage.

        Assistance in Afrcia with AIDS:

        http://crs.org/countries/south-africa

        Assistance with abuse and housing etc is the same. Also, they make up the primary bulk of non profit hospitals. Their tax exempt status saves millions. And you want to take it away because what, there are a few cases of moronic priests that act like cults?

        You are trashy.

        You’re vile.

        You’re pathetic.

        You’re a loser.

        You aren’t open minded believing what you do against churches, you’re more of a narrow minded monkey from your lack of research on it,

        I could go on and on.

        I’m an agnostic. I wish I believed, but I don’t. The fact though is, the affect of religion is good. Inherently, Un-debatably, Good. A fact provable through their work, and taking away that tax exempt status, you trash, in the name of some ideal, would kill people. All because you want to hit back at that darned corrupt religion?

        GROW UP.

          Bob – there you go flying off the handle again without actually comprehending what’s being said. He wasn’t talking about he Catholic Church. He specifically said “Evangelical Ministers.” You know the ones; Jimmy Swaggart, Jim & Tammy Faye, Ted Haggard, James Dobson, etc.

            Libby, for every Jimmy Swaggart that has been on the scene, there are 10,000 ministers and churches that do extremely good work without wasting money like the government does. Just in my church, we have planted several churches with the farthest being in Alaska. We assist the homeless, provided shelter to the victims of Katrina and volunteer for Meals on Wheels to the shut ins. What have Atheists done for the betterment of man?

            Agent – I will not debate the merits of who does more charitable work. I was only responding to Bob’s tirade against txmouthbreatherboogereatertx’s post. He was talking about Evangelical Ministers, period.

            Hi Agent,

            I’m not going to wade into the argument about tax exemptions for religious entities, but your comment made me curious about what kind of Atheist charities actually exist. A google search showed that a there are a number of Atheist charities doing a lot of good work. This site lists some of them: http://kylyssa.squidoo.com/Atheist-Charities. They provide similar assistance as the religious charities: soup kitchens, aid to victims of natural disasters (Katrina, Sri Lanka Tsunami, Haitian earthquake,) blood drives and toys drives for needy children.

            Your church has done a lot to help people in need, and that’s wonderful. But you don’t have to be religious or believe in God to be charitable and care about your fellow man.

            Excellent article, BS. But I doubt Agent even clicked on the link. He’ll be posting his ignorant “What have Atheists done for the betterment of man?” comment again in a couple of days.

    No one can argue that ND is a Johnny Come Lately for a legit religious entity. If any organization should get a win on this issue, it would be ND.

    The damn web site don’t work so no one would be getting the coverage.

      In proper English we would say “doesn’t work” not “don’t work”. Press 1 for English. Go Irish!!!

        Sorry, Im just a dum ass C student in college. No alphabet soup after my name.
        In proper English Affordable means I can write a check to cover the bill. So, I guess I took a page out of the OBama Dictionary. Of Course, he may have changed that since last night. He probably changes that more then his undies….

    A look at the cost structure of the ACA, for those who are interested. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Good luck.
