Member letters: Samaritan points our nation in the right direction for health policy

I strongly believe that Samaritan and health care sharing ministries point us in the direction that we as a nation need to go in solving our health care policy problems. Some people have asked me, “How can you trust people you don’t know rather than a triple A rated insurance company?” I reply that it is far easier to trust the faithfulness of 70,000 Christian families, people who pray for me and WANT to serve their brothers and sisters in Christ, than to trust an enormous corporation that tries to find ways to not pay or a corrupt government that wastes billions of health care dollars. Thank God for Samaritan Ministries.

We have been so blessed since the Lord led us to Samaritan. After we were informed our insurance plan could no longer be offered because of Obamacare, we searched the qualified plans, but they were not affordable at $1100-1500 a month and they had mandated coverage we did not want. Samaritan offered an affordable option for us and now after years of sending checks and notes of encouragement to others who needed help, we submitted our first Need. It was humbling to receive help from others, and a step of faith for us. When the checks and notes arrived it was such a blessing. We were so thankful to be able to choose our doctor and decide for ourselves what really needed to be done instead of being subjected to government-controlled restrictions.
