The United States Supreme Court has ruled on the health care reform law
By Christian Science Press Room
- June 28, 2012
This morning, June 28, the United States Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of most of the health care reform law (the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act), ruling that the individual mandate is constitutional as a tax. Therefore, beginning in 2014, many Americans (including many Christian Scientists) will be required to buy health insurance, or pay a penalty for noncompliance. Currently, Christian Scientists are neither accommodated in nor exempted by this law. However, we are actively working to find appropriate solutions for Christian Scientists as we continue engaging with representatives of federal and state governments. We are encouraged by the strong bipartisan support we have seen for ensuring that the needs of Christian Scientists are considered in health care legislation and are very grateful for it.

With or without universal health care I still get God’s personal full quality care and attention, 24/7
When workman’s comp covers a stay at a Christian Science nursing home and all insurance plans will accept bills from Christian Science practitioners, nurses and nursing homes then there will be a reason for me to pay for it. I’m grateful that all those who want to go to doctors and hospitals that have not been able to can get the help they desire and I know that my needs will be met as well. What blesses one, blesses all. The solution is there , the victory won, the field is already white.
