Personally, I was unaware of the formation of these Christian organizations, but glad they have answered something I have continuously wondered over, why Americans couldn't have an alternative to government mandated healthcare.

I have Florida Blue health insurance. The premiums are over $800 a month. I needed emergency surgery. It cost me over $5,000 for deductibles and maximum out of pocket expenses. I went to an in-network hospital. Florida Blue has a contract with them for discount medical services. They sent me an estimate of what the medical bills would have been if I had no insurance. It was several times more than what Blue Cross and I paid. Medical bills are a leading cause of bankruptcy.

When I am 65 I might get Medicare plus a Medicare Advantage Plan policy to reduce risk of high medical bills.

I've been without Medical Insurance for nearly 20 years. I like the concept of these Christian companies, but I don't think it's for me. The majority of Christians eat like the world and a huge % of Christians are overweight and don't exercise, and seem to think it doesn't matter how they take care of their bodies, long as they believe Jesus died for them.

I wouldn't feel right paying the medical bills of people like that.

Just to let you know Medicare and a Medicare Advantage Plan comes out expensive too. The impression is that once you get to Medicare age your costs go way down. They don't. Maybe a little bit only.

If you sign up for an advantage plan within a month of signing up for Medicare at the age of 65, then they do not adjust your monthly premiums for preexisting conditions. How much do you pay?

I signed up right away on day one with the paperwork all ready to go in advance.
