The Narrow Path Ministries

Anyone have any experience with this non-profit (Christian) health insurance cooperative type of system. The rates are about 50% of regular health insurance cos and they have an A+ from the BBB.

I have only heard good things about them, but have not been a member myself. Philosophically, I think it beats regular insurance by a mile. This is members of the Body of Christ bearing one another's burdens.

Thanks for the feedback. It was nice to have the person i was speaking to at the end of our conversation say "God bless you."

The only downside that I see is that prexisting conditions are not covered for a certain period of time. That can be a problem for those who have one.

But this is true with most individual health insurance policies, and conversely the main advantage of group health insurance coverage.

Medi-share is indeed a unique program for providing assistance with medical care, but unlike health insurance programs this route uses blatant discrimination to prevent certain individuals from benefiting from its service. Mychristiancare.org specifically points out that only those engaging in sexual intercourse within a “Christian” marriage are allowed to join. This immediately eliminates gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals from enrolling in Medi-share. The program also places limits on services it covers based upon religious beliefs and states specifically that abortions will not be covered under any circumstance.

To be clear, Medi-share is not an insurance program. Medi-share operates as a non-profit group and while members pay into a group fund each month, the money is never Medi-share’s money. Furthermore, Medi-share is not required to pay any bill, nor keep cash reserves on hand.

Medi-Share is also mentioned in these articles as well .

I rather like that they use blatent discrimination. I do not enjoy helping pay for other people's sinful life choices.
