The Religious Groups Bill
Religious groups could get tax break on social security
Religious Exemptions for Social Security and Healthcare Taxes Act
Bad for everyday people ·
The bill would let people whose faith opposes insurance get a credit or refund on their Social Security and Medicare taxes, lowering what they pay.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, religious families could pay less into Social Security, which could shrink the pool that funds retirees and disabled people. That means other workers might end up shouldering a bigger share of the program’s costs.
