Christian Health Care Sharing – Assurance, not Insurance

38% of people would rather pay fine than get insurance

  • ACA-Obamacare

Fox news had a story about a poll where 38% of people would rather pay the Obamacare penalty than actually get insurance. This was higher than the 28% who said the same thing in an earlier poll. Interesting. I’m guessing this is because the premiums are so high and the terms (with high co-insurance and deductibles) are terrible. The deductible/co-insurance may actually be the worst part. I can sympathize, the rates they are getting are terrible, ours were.

It’s too bad more people don’t know about healthcare sharing ministries. They could have a much more logical set of needs covered and pay way less for it. Plus the benefits of prayers, helping those with needs and being part of a community of like minded believers. I know it’s not a perfect fit for everyone, but surely some of those 38% would be so joyful if they knew about Samaritan.

There are 3 Christian healthcare sharing ministry choices, and a 4th which is religious based but more lax about it.

The Christian based ministries are Samaritan Ministries, Christian Healthcare Ministries, and Medishare are all ACA exempt. I’m not sure about Liberty Healthshare, if they are exempt or not. I don’t know how long they’ve been in business. In a later post I will do a comparison between them, as I did a fair amount of research about the top 3 before choosing Samaritan.

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.

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.
