OP was dishonest in calling it insurance in the subject title, and dishonest claiming that there are no bad reviews about this program.

It is not insurance, you just give your money to others every month, they don't have to pay a dime for your medical care.

OP is happy they paid for him, but everyone has not been so fortunate.

And the neat part about "living as a Christian" is it all depends on what preacher you follow to determine what the criteria will be....

Trying to coerce people into being Christian. Are you guys that desperate for members these days?

Thanks for warning me about this. I've heard ads on the radio for it, but I didn't know they were trying to be so controlling. Your post has saved me a bunch of time since now there is no need to give it a second thought.

This is no different than an expensive tithe, which in turn allows the church to control others by giving the money back only to the needy who follows the flock.

Frankly I'm not big on the creation of another industry/ insurance (in particular) with even *more* exclusions and harmful rules than a traditional sucky health insurance, but if it suits you - run with it.
Wouldn't you think in the vast webscape you could find just ONE negative experience about Samaritan about it's not covering a claim that wasn't excluded in the bylaws? Keep looking.

Big industry? Who's making money off Samaritan? Nobody.

Not arguing that point. My comment on flaming is in regards to not just this thread but several other times we see each side do so.

Cheesemont in my opinion delivered the message wrong, he chose to pass judgement on others in a degrading or flaming manner, which if someone is looking to bring someone to their side that is the wrong way to deliver a message.

No one responds well to being looked down upon, or someone getting in their face sort to speak.

But it brings up a point, this Christian insurance he is telling us about has rules. It obviously won't help everybody. But the same for government insurance. Some propose universal government run insurance, it will impose rules on people some will object to.

There has to be options, if there is only one choice, government insurance, if it is bad then everybody is stuck with it.

It doesn't matter, it is the same concept. It doesn't work for everyone, you take your chances.

I would rather have an Obamacare policy or "state" insurance, because it is insurance.

Yeah, see. She's a political figure. We are called upon to criticize the ones intending to do us harm. How many times have I had to say that now? Four?

C'mon guys.

Again, that is was the irreligious leftists don't understand. Christians DO tell the truth. And because they do, Samaritan works wonderfully well.
