About This Site

This website is a member review of Samaritan Ministries, a Christian Healthcare Sharing organization. I do not work for Samaritan, nor do I speak for them, I am just a very satisfied member. If you find this website helpful and decide to join I would appreciate if you would mention my name, Heather Peters (in Nebraska) or mention the website samaritan ministries review, as your referral. When that happens we then donate every month to special prayer needs and hope that you will consider donating something, too. Thank you for taking the time to read this site, it is a labor of love! :)

Exempt from the ACA

Members of recognized health care sharing ministries in existence since Dec 31, 1999 (this is) are exempt from the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act, so there is no fine or penalty if you are a member of Samaritan Ministries.
