Don't you get it? The fact that people use Christian principles are WHY this system works. People aren't trying to rip off the system like they do in our secular healthcare.
Covering pre-existing conditions isn't insurance. It's welfare. Would you expect to buy fire insurance after your home has burned down?
So if your last house burned down the next house you get can’t have insurance?
Pre ACA, it was entirely up to each state to define or not a preexisting condition and limit or not, the lookback for preexisting conditions. Some states left it up to insurers while most states capped the lookback.
Post ACA, states retain the primary responsibility for regulating insurers. The ACA covers only the Ten Essential Services. The rest is on each state. No two states have the same regulations.
One state might mandate insurance cover ABC medication, while the next state does not.
Medical cost sharing ministries are NOT insurance and are not regulated. They have no legal obligation to pay a qualified claim.
Like everything, sooner or later one of these ministries will blow.
You just don't read. Samaritan cannot 'blow' because there is NO central pile of money. It's everyone sending money to each other.
Since when is birth control an evil act? It's a responsible act.
Are there really Christians who think birth control is evil? I can't even.
Artificial birth control is against the teachings of the Catholic Church. it is immoral because it treats sex as a mechanical act that does not permit fully sharing and is not open to children. Birth control basically makes sex a selfish act.
If you think there aren't organized atheists, what the hell is the Communist Party, then? It's hypocritical for you not to renounce your atheism since prominent atheists have committed the worst atrocities in the history of man. You think mass murder of millions is equivalent to a few wayward priests bothering boys?

But you can totally shove your condom free penis into anus of a schoolboy. That is fully endorsed, protected and supported by the Catholic Church and you.
No kidding. This Christian poster (the OP) who never lies cannot make a single comment without political, judgmental, snarky innuendos added. He's been doing it so long, and it has become so natural, I doubt the person even realizes he's doing it.
Let's stick to the topic, which is Christian co-op healthcare. OK?
But countries like Denmark and Sweden are doing quite well.
They rely on Big Oil, their taxes are sky high, and they are in permanent recession.
