Someone near me (doesn’t matter who) brought up the notion that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, aka “Obamacare”) singles out Muslims for exemption from the mandatory coverage clause.
The person referenced a web page apparently rounding the top of some search engines which talks about this mysterious word. It’s “ask marion” or something (I refuse to add a link to contribute to the page ranking of such a made up load of claptrap).

She even includes a link to snopes.com, which suggests that her claim is a “mixture” of truth and non-truth.

Re: When I was your age
Hi Al,
It's been a long time. I tried to befriend you on Facebook, but your page wouldn't let me. How demure, but endearing. I live in SW Turkey with my wife and son. Life is generally good. I'm interested in what you've been up to. I do hope to hear from you!
Best,
Jake
