A God-centered health care plan- Samaritans Ministries

Being self-employed makes buying insurance VERY expensive. A couple of years ago we decided to use Samaritan Ministries for our health care needs. Jeff is not on our family plan because he uses tobacco (cigars), so we carry a separate insurance policy for him, but our girls and myself are on a family plan. The cost for Samaritans is much less than if we had to carry a normal health insurance policy. We pay $320 a month, even if Jeff were on it the cost would be the same.

Samaritans is not insurance, but rather a Biblical alternative to health insurance.

Every month when I write out my check for $320, I write it to an individual. Samaritans sends me a letter with a name and address of who I am suppose to send the ‘share’ to. They also tell what the medical issue was so we know how to pray for that person’s healing.

I LOVE the satisfaction of knowing that the money is going straight to a person and directly to their medical cost, rather than an insurance company with a LOT of strings attached and people in offices to pay!

I love that this is actually sharing the cost of medical bills of other Believers.

My mother who also lives with us, uses Samaritans now that she is retired, rather than buying an insurance policy. I know several other people that use Samaritans.

Even if we were wealthy I would still want to be a part of Samaritans because I believe that paying for medical care should not be big business, and insurance companies should not be influencing the cost of medical care as much as they do.

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be "...teachers of good things...". We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors. One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17
