This is a wonderful alternative to traditional healthcare that some friend told us about. They new people who use it and had really posative experiances.
We are very attracted to it's structure. Basically, instead of making a monthly payment into big business medical scams (in my opinion), you send a check directly to another family in the body of Messiah who has medical bill needs. If ever you have a need the same thing happens for you! It is how The Body is suppose to work! Samaritan Ministries has facilitated that so that it may happen. It is something we are excited to become a part of this year, we plan to get it started by Spring.

Looked into this once...at that time they had a weight requirement so my family was not eligible even though health is really good, no pre-existing conditions, but more than that they require a signed statement from a pastor to which you are accountable stating you meet all their criteria and that you go to church 3 out of 4 weeks a month; if you don't go you can explain why, but they have a review and can still deny you. Good luck. Let me know how it works out for your family.
