Can I be Amish and still plug things in?

As to the Muslim part, does this include car insurance? something they must have in most every state to drive. What about state provided health insurance?

If they just run to the ER or DR office when they need something and pay cash, fine. If they run to the ER because they have no money, and no insurance. They are part of the problem.

The Amish do pay in cash and have community fundraisers if the bill gets too expensive. Many times they will opt not to take expensive treatment if it’s not cost effective and willingly face death sooner rather than bankrupt the community.

Some variants of the Amish (New Order, some Beachy Amish, and others) maintain government exemption from insurance but are more lenient on technology use. All of them will make you wear old-fashioned clothes though.
