Recognized Religious Grounds
There are exemptions from the new requirement to buy health insurance or be fined. From cnn.com:
"Some people are exempt from the new law. If a person's income is below a certain level, or if the cheapest insurance would cost 8 percent of the person's income, no penalty would apply for lack of coverage.
There also are exemptions for people in prison, people objecting on recognized religious grounds and for members of Native American tribes."
So my religious grounds is I'm an atheist who believes this is probably my only life, so I don't want to spend it a slave to insurance companies, doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies if they can't deliver a quality product at a low cost. If I were religious, being a slave here on earth is no big deal compared to eternity, only an atheist should want not to waist a second as a slave paying for overpriced crappy service.
Think this will fly?
Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. --Mark Skousen

We can make it fly. Me and you.
Somehow I doubt it, but that doesn't mean I won't try!
And not even this guy, as much as I know he would want to, can argue!
I laughed so hard right around 3:09 where he says the tongue twister "godless-liberal-indoctrinating-government-run-public-school-system" in about 1.5-2 seconds. I couldn't watch an entire 8 minute long video that ever once referred to Ray Comfort as "brilliant". But from what I did watch of it, the radio guy seems to think that WorldNutDaily is a reputable source for news and opinion, and that's an instant giveaway to the state of that man's mental faculties.
