I am referring to the accommodation under ACA for folks who want to voluntarily join a health share ministry instead of buying insurance. So you know nothing about healthshare?

You very first comment to me was to doubt I'm really a Christian. My reply to you. how do you know who is and who isn't a Christian? Do I have to start a Corporation, that has the word Christian in it, before I can be considered one?

Now, are you trying to tell me that the Ryan bill was going to outlaw those "Christian" health programs? Really?

[WhatNot]

But you know what? I didn’t vote for Paul Ryan as speaker of the House. Your beloved Freedom Caucus did that. The lousy hypocrites.

A good health care reform bill would remove all restrictions on groups of people forming health cost sharing cooperatives, which is what the health share ministries are. Obamacare severely restricted them, and banned the formation of new health cost sharing cooperatives.

For many years in our nation voluntary health care cooperatives formed a major part of the health care system. Many fraternal organizations, religious, ethnic, trade and social groups provided health care benefits to their members.

We have the vestiges of that system still today in union health plans, and to some extent those group health care cooperatives led to the common employment based health care groups we have today.

Instead of the government banning health care cooperatives they should promote them, although of course insurance companies, drug companies, and hospital groups hate the idea since health care cooperatives allow individuals to keep more money in the pockets and put less in the bank accounts of insurance companies, drug companies, and hospital groups.
