With the deadline for signing up for Obamacare looming, I found this article on the Drudge Report this morning and decided to pass it on to my fellow energetic forum brothers and sisters:
How Matt Drudge (and Other Obamacare Victims) Can Escape the “Liberty Tax”
The good news — for Drudge and other Americans who don’t want to buy an Obamacare-compliant plan due to personal objections or just plain cost — is that in many cases there is a practical escape hatch from the IRS penalty. And this option may end up offering better and more affordable care than Obamacare. The only catch is you’ve got to have a little faith.
Buried in Section 1501 on page 148 of the so-called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is an exemption from the individual mandate for a “health care sharing ministry,” a group whose members “share a common set of ethical or religious beliefs and share medical expenses among members in accordance with those beliefs.” For any member of such group, the law says, “No penalty shall be imposed.”
The four health-care sharing ministries:
Christian Healthcare Ministries, Christian Healthcare Ministries: The affordable, biblical solution to healthcare costs

Medi-Share, Christian Care Ministry - Home Page
Samaritan Ministries, Samaritan Ministries International - Samaritan Ministries International
