[/quote] That's what i'm wondering. How could they possibly know all of that? I would assume it is honor system and about making your best attempts at a pure lifestyle. Just when you come up with a smoking related illness, fatty liver from drinking, or HIV from rando sex don't expect them to help you. They probably do check for membership in a church though.

Healthcare Sharing Ministries!

"
On pages 107 and 128 of the Affordable Care Act, Christians who participate in healthcare sharing ministries are exempt from the “individual mandate” to obtain health insurance.
The legislation reads, “…Exemptions from Individual Responsibility Requirements — (A) In the case of an individual seeking exemption based on the individual’s status as a member of an exempt religious sect or division, as a member of a health care sharing ministry… Such term shall not include any individual for any month if such individual is a member of a health care sharing ministry for the month.”
However, in order to be eligible for the exemption, the healthcare sharing ministry must have been in operation since 1999. There are only three organizations nationwide that qualify under these terms: Samaritan Ministries, Christian Healthcare Ministries and Medi-Share.

I checked out Christian Healthcare Ministries first ( [

Here is their Gold Plan:
Gold = $150.00 per unit, per month
$500 personal responsibility per unit, per year. Total bills incurred per incident must exceed $500.
Includes:
• inpatient and outpatient hospital incidents* and surgery
• medical testing
• maternity (click here for more information)
• physical therapy and home health care (up to 45 visits)
• incident-related doctor's office visits
• incident-related prescriptions
