Methodists discover they're screwed under Obamacare

By Donald Sensing

Board of Pensions works to amend the Affordable Care Act - The United Methodist Reporter:

Glenview, IL—According to a statement released by the General Board of Pensions and Health Benefits, clergy and lay employees of United Methodist churches may soon lose their health care coverage due to some coming provisions in the Affordable Care Act of 2013 (ACA or “Obamacare”). This potential loss of benefits is due to an oversight in the writing of the bill which overlooked clergy and lay employees of churches as potential recipients of special tax credits for the purchase of health insurance.
But the Methodists are pleading they're special and so deserve relief because of their "unique needs." This from one of the staunchest Democrat voting blocs in the country.
