Law Trumps Freakazoids in Kentucky

No, you can't break the law no matter what your imaginary invisible sky wizard says. Not even in Kentucky.

Roger Alford at AP:

 A judge has ordered a Christians-only health care ministry to cease operations in Kentucky unless it can get approval from the state Department of Insurance.

Franklin County Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate entered that ruling Tuesday against Medi-Share, a Florida-based cost-sharing ministry that helps pay medical bills for churchgoers who pledge to live Christian lives that include no smoking, drinking, using drugs or engaging in sex outside of marriage.

Medi-Share has continued to operate in Kentucky a year after the state Supreme Court ruled that it is subject to the same regulations as secular health care plans.
