Actually there is a Christian Healthcare that works almost the same way and is exempt from Obamacare. (no, I do NOT work for them) Just to let people know. Christians helping Christians-it does not specify denomination although one cannot use tobacco or illegal drugs.

Christian Health Ministries.org

From the website:

Anyone who is a member of a health cost sharing ministry is exempted from penalty under the national health care bill (Affordable Care Act) signed into law on March 23, 2010. Christian Healthcare Ministries meets each of the qualifications set forth for health cost sharing ministries in the U.S. health care legislation.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruling on June 28, 2012, does not alter CHM members' ability to meet each other's health care costs. The ministry will continue to provide affordable, quality health cost sharing support.

The Christian health sharing ministries seem like a reasonable alternative. I just wish Obamacare didn’t say “just the three that existing in 1999 get to be legal”, instead of letting us set up more of them.
