Member letters: 'Obamacare destroyed my health insurance'

When I became aware that Obamacare required our insurance plan to pay for abortion, I was convicted that we should not be participating in such a plan. But I was scared not to have insurance. God made it clear to me that I had made insurance an idol in my life, and I needed to trust Him to take care of my family. I didn’t really understand how Samaritan worked until our middle son, Austin, broke his arm. He received care and the shares met the need. It is so encouraging to be part of a group who shares my beliefs and who prays for each other.

Obamacare destroyed my health insurance. An $11,000 deductible was added to the $11,000 annual premiums. This is not “insurance.” Praise God for Samaritan Ministries that has met our needs. If I had stayed with insurance I’d be paying bills off for years. I will always be grateful for how God has blessed my family through Samaritan Ministries.

We are so thankful to know that we can get the medical treatment we need without the fear of being out a network approved by an insurance carrier. As a result of knowing that other believers are sharing our bills, we also feel a responsibility to them not to have unnecessary tests and procedures. This has made us more aware of how we approach medical care, saving us both money and unnecessary discomfort.
