Health Care The Christian Way…
Read Time:2 Minute, 0 Second
When someone says Health Care, Single Payer or Medicare, Republicans are immediately up in arms. They are of the strict understanding that the Health Care system which helps pay for those who cannot afford it, is bad and in recent times has been called a Socialist system…or Obamacare.
Well, what many do not want you to know is that there is already a system like that out there…it is called Medi-Share, and it is a real system by real Christians giving real care to those who need help to address their Medical needs.
“Medi-Share is a community of more than 36,000 Christians who follow the biblical model of sharing and paying each other’s medical bills much like the early church did 2,000 years ago. And as a not-for-profit ministry that promotes healthy biblical lifestyles, participation is affordable.”
See the Story at their website.
How does it work?
“Your fixed monthly share amount is used to match others healthcare costs. If you have a medical expense, Medi-Share participants will share your medical bills. In fact, since 1993 more than $490 million have been shared and saved leaving no medical needs unpaid for.”
Their statement says…”Healthcare sharing ministries like Medi-Share are the only organizations to be exempt from the
regulations and costs of the recently passed health care bill. (Page 128, H.R. 3590 )”
I would love to let the Republicans/ Conservatives/Teabaggers/Birthers/Neo-Cons, know what real Christians think about Healthcare and why this is a great idea…as the Bible says it should be…maybe they would wake up and see the light…after all, What would Jesus do?
I feel I should also include this comment made by a visitor to my blog at www.shockandaweonamerica.com
“James Lansberry said…I also recommend Samaritan Ministries (www.samaritanministries.org) that I’ve been a part of since 1996. Over 15,000 families/50,000 Christians sharing medical needs for $320/month or less per family.”

Great post, Tee! I think you posted some light on the topic. 🙂
Thank You Gwen:)
Tee, great post. If all Christian followed this model there would be no Republican party.
Lazersedge, LMAO! Yer darn tootin right 🙂
Great post Tee, and great kick in the nuts to Christian fundies. Nice to see some Christians practicing what they preach!
Yeah, if the rest of the religious were like this group it would indeed be a great experience to live among them.
Great post Tee!! I am impressed.
Thank you Mike, it is both a pleasure and an honor 🙂
Sadly whenever I see most of my fellow Christians and Obama is mentioned 90% of them shake their heads and disdainfully say “Obama.”
The guy that brought them at least a start towards national health care for all as Jesus would have wanted.
They will say that government has no role then they will only vote for fellow Christians who proclaim their Christianity the loudest. We are a hypocritical bunch. No wonder we’re not very popular at MadMike’s.
But you are popular here Joe, and a most welcomed friend, 🙂

What would Jesus do Tee? Not vote Republican.
Health care answers are out there and this post is a great example.
Holte, it is such a great idea, and it has been working all along!
