There's a story brewing today in regard to health care that America's Amish population could be exempt from Obama's health care program. This is juicy, huh! If the Amish can be excluded on religious grounds imagine the myriad of "Weirdo God" sects that could file for the same reasons.
I saw a report on some Kentuckians who use rattlesnakes in their ceremonies to ward off evil spirits. Sounds to me like they have valid legal grounds. Native Americans could apply and would come under the umbrella. Oh wait, they're federalized, already. Sorry, Tonto, you're outta luck. Does the practice of witchcraft count? Bet it would. I'm sure there's an ACLU lawyer or two out there who's available for them.
Why, Christians could be excluded. We could use the old, "since the Sanhedrin deprived Jesus health care after the sourging at the pillar and carrying of the cross routine". Forget the crucifixion. That sort of takes health care out of the debate. Finally, there is the ultimate alternative to Obama's health care program. Since 64% of the populace is against why not have these people become Amish. Makes sense to me.
I have this nagging feeling that health care as we know it might be around for quite some time. As long as we have lawyers we've got a fighting chance. I may not be against tort reform after all.
