Exempting the Amish

So the House and Senate both plan on exempting the Amish from the proposed health care law.  How tiresome this becomes. 

Although the Amish consist of several branches, some more conservative than others, they generally rely upon a community ethic that disdains government assistance. Families rely upon one another, and communities pitch in to help neighbors pay health care expenses.


You know, if the government would just leave us alone and stop forcing us to pay for people we don't know, we'll rely on each other, as well.
