Healthcare Mandate vs. Christian Alternative That's Exploding as Deadline Nears"Since the launch of HealCare.gov on October 1, membership at each of the [Christian healthcare alternative] ministries has exploded, with nearly 30,000 new enrollees—more than the number of people who selected a plan through ObamaCare in 24 states." (Washington, DC)—A nationwide network of Christians have developed an alternative to government healthcare called Medi-Share, in which they share each other's medical bills through what is called "health care sharing ministries." (Photo via Fox News) "It works just like insurance," said Eileen Wade of the program that began in 2011 and has increased in popularity with the advancement of government mandated healthcare. I have an insurance card. I show it just like anyone else would. I have a deductible. I have a monthly premium that I pay." According to a Fox News report, the healthier lifestyle many Christians lead (no drugs, alcohol abuse, etc.), helps keep monthly premiums lower than that of other insurers for most members. The report notes that under the plans, "families or individuals generally are more responsible for regular medical costs like annual check-ups. And bills for unexpected illnesses or accidents are eligible for 'sharing' by the group."
