Health Care Sharing Ministries To Be Rendered Useless By Obama-Democrat Healthcare Travesty. Our Freedoms Stricken!
This will adversely affect thousands of pastors, evangelists, and missionaries!
November 2, 2009
Please Contact Your U.S. Representative Now!
A bill has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives that would require all Americans to purchase government approved health insurance. Your sharing through Samaritan Ministries will not be considered adequate to meet the bills requirements in its current form.
A vote is planned for this week on H.R. 3962 The Affordable Health Care for America Act. Despite all of our efforts to date, H.R. 3962 does not provide any exemption for the members of health care sharing ministries.
It is important to cry out to God for protection from this violation of our religious freedom and to contact your U.S. Representative now, appealing for protection.
a.. Ask your Representative to protect health care sharing ministries.
b.. Ask your Representative to insist on amending H.R. 3962 The Affordable Health Care for America Act with language similar to that in S. 1796, the bill from the Senate Finance Committee that provides such an exemption.
c.. Ask your Representative to vote against H.R. 3962 unless an exemption for health care sharing ministries is provided.
For best results call your Representatives district office that is closest to you, so he will know that you are from his district.
If you want to call your Representatives Washington D.C. office, call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121, and ask for your Representative.
If you need assistance in identifying your Representative, please call the Samaritan Ministries office at 877-764-2426 and we would be glad to help you.
If you or your Representative would like more information on the language we desire in the bill, please visit the Alliance of Health Care Ministries website at healthcaresharing.org. The proposed language can be found here (this will open a pdf).
After you have prayed and called your Representative, there is another thing you can do if you are able. Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachman is encouraging Americans to Bring the Town Hall to Washington for a press conference at noon on Thursday, November 5, on the West Steps of the U. S. Capitol building. Other Congressmen sponsoring this effort include Tom Price (GA), Michael Burgess (TX), Scott Garrett (NJ), and Steve King (IA). Join the effort if you can.
This email was part of Samaritan Ministries effort to keep its members apprised of rapidly changing political developments in "Health Care Reform" that will affect your ability to share.

He did lie, of course.
Thousands of Christian pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and other Christian workers use health-cost sharing ministries, administrated through a few different ministries established for these purposes.
It is our current healthcare plan. Obama said we could keep our current healthcare plan. He LIES.
Christian workers and their families enrolled in health cost sharing ministries are on the front lines of keeping costs low, because they don't run to the emergency room unless their is a real emergency.
Further, the people enrolled all live very healthy lifestyles already. Oh, sure, some of us are a little overweight, but no smokers, alcohol users, or drug users.
Those enrolled ae considerate of the others enrolled, because they are all helping each other with their health care costs, making gifts to one another for this purpose, in a very organized fashion.
The Democrats in the House want these plans wiped out. The legislation is thus proven that the issue is not health care or keeping costs low, but CONTROL over our individual lives.
Yet another enemy targeted by the government.
