That's just an insurance plan run by Samaritan Ministries.

Plus you have to abide by their loony lifestyle restrictions.

It's no better than the ACA, in fact it's lousy.

Falls inline with current healthcare laws.

I can negotiate with doctors and hospitals for a lowered cash price

My deductible is $300

Thank God I’ve never had to use it

They offered that as they were phasing out pensions in favor of 401(k) plans, which is the 1-2 punch combination that put most employee-types at a huge disadvantage of paying the most for healthcare while carrying the most risk as an investor as well.

Started way before that.

Because of these many people are job locked in jobs they hate but are afraid to leave.  I would rather manage my own health insurance and investments where I have total control.

I read all their explanations, conditions and rules because it seemed an interesting concept. Whether it works as well as they claim it does is debatable. I wouldn't take the risk. It could end up being the worst decision anyone can make. Read the part where it says if they can't pay for your health needs they can always pray for you.
