Gee, you mean the "Marxist media" isn't keeping them a secret as the thread title alleges?
Because there is a trust issue here with your coverage and health insurance companies both; their reasons to cover or not cover are as capricious as ever.
It's no different from the insurance company going back and hyper-analyzing your health history from childhood, your credit rating and other oddball items they're using in metrics these days. Your group just hyper-analyzes a person's perceived 'moral' history. You can laud their policies all you want as following your own ideology (dogma) and paying up as needed - until one day for whatever reason - they don't.
Both types of policies are potentially crippling financial shades of gray.
Insurers are regulated by the state.
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.
Interestingly, you can look up any and all complaints against Samaritan, and you will not find a single negative thing in any forum as far as their denying coverage of a condition they claim they will cover. This is rather astounding, considering there are so many paid leftwing activists who spread lies on forums.
Unlike insurers, the voluntary ministries are free to cherry pick conditions and lookback periods.
This thread mainly reinforces my belief that people who push their avowed fundamentalist Christian principles into politics aren't actually Christians.
You alleged "there are so many paid leftwing activists who spread lies on forums." Thugs at Trump rallies are irrelevant to that allegation.
And I should believe a biased blowhard who makes a very nice living bashing the left to the RW sheeple because? Need I also mention the hypocrisy of this man who so often bashed drug-users despite being one himself?
You have yet to support your allegation with facts, try again!
BTW, Despite you first line, those are three things.
Sorry, but you won't find these stories on MSNBC or the Huffpo.
Do you now see why I usually don't chase my tail getting sources for leftwingers? They constantly move the goalposts...."Yeah, but what about...…"
This thread mainly reinforces my belief that people who push their avowed Hardline Christian principles into politics aren't actually Christians.
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.
