Sorry to hear about your experience with medishare. and i do believe that as a church we will need to look after each other more as things go along. how many of the hospitals were started by churches. i don’t know the count but i would guess a majority — if not the actual hospital, the schools behind them probably were.
Indeed...look at the names of the hospitals in any area. More often than not, they have a name which has religious significance!
I have since bought a small catastrophic policy from Allstate. It does not cover abortion, birth control, drug rehab, or mental health, so it is not legal under the ACA.
However, I am a 62 year old widow who lives alone, so I don’t need:
1. Abortion. (I am passionately Pro-Life.)
2. Birth Control (see above LOL)
3. Drug Rehab (I survived the 60’s. I am not about to start doing dope at this stage!)
4. Mental Health (Well, let’s see. I’ve survived:
a. My husband’s violent suicide
b. The loss of my home (and all of my artwork)
c. My best friend dying in my arms in a helicopter over a volcano
d. The death of my father
e. 6 years of obama
If I have not yet turned into a screaming, frothing, stark raving lunatic by now, I think I am safe.
