I do help pay for medical treatments for Christians that Samaritan Ministries refuses to cover.
We all do, through higher insurance premiums, Medicaid, medical bills that are not paid, ...
Samaritan Ministries is not health insurance. It is not a charity.
Samaritan Ministries is a way for a select group of Christians to offload expensive medical treatments for their members off on the rest of us.
I'm sorry you don't like the welfare state, but it's your side that wants to expand it. And for that, you are blaming Christians? Maybe you should reconsider your vote next time.
I don't understand why you think Samaritan should administer welfare. Unlike the government, Samaritan has to stay solvent in order to keep serving people.
Compassion was one of the tenants of what Jesus taught, I guess that is lost on a Christian Charity. I guess in your mind Mother Teresa was just a welfare junkie administering to the poor. Samaritan is a business, for profit as it must "stay solvent " as you stated.
Welfare is what you mean. Samaritan isn't welfare, although their members can and do pay for conditions that are not eligible for Samaritan coverage. In truth all welfare should be handled by private charity.
No welfare is not what I mean. I mean health insurance.
When people with high-cost medical needs are shunted off to health insurance, the cost goes up for all those on regular health insurance.
You're so generous with other people's money. Just like a leftwinger. Maybe YOU could step up and help the people you are demanding Christians pay for.
You're the very exemplar of why I decided to avoid YOUR type of phony christianity. You give me no reason to revisit my youthful decision 70 years later on.
If you're what your type believes is a practicing christian; christianity is doomed and deservedly so.

Who's making the profit at Samaritan if there's no pool of money? But since it is self-sustaining, unlike the federal government, it's got to have some common sense rules.
But glad you are so generous with other people's (Christians') money. Are you equally generous with your own resources? No? Why not?

Though indeed, some likely end up on Medicaid.
Now, you've done it. Introducing facts! Shame!
