Health care for people of Biblical faith

If you are a committed Christian, you can live consistently with your beliefs by sharing medical needs directly with fellow believers through Samaritan Ministries’ non-insurance approach. You do not have to violate your faith by purchasing health insurance that pays for abortions, abortifacient drugs, and other unbiblical practices. Health care sharing satis- fies the individual mandate in the recent Federal health care law (United States Code 26, Section 5000A, (d), (2), (B)).

Every month the more than 27,000* households of Samaritan Ministries share over $7 million* in medical needs directly—one household to another. They also pray for one an- other and send notes of encouragement. The monthly share for a family membership of any size has never exceeded $370*.

For more information call us toll-free at 1-888-268-4377, or visit us online at: www.samaritanministries.org. Follow us on Twitter (@samaritanmin) and Facebook (SamaritanMinistries). * As of November 2013

Friday, Dec. 13 Conscience victory U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan in Brooklyn, N.Y., issued a permanent injunction against Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate as applied to religious nonprofits. Cogan’s ruling held that the requirement that reli- gious nonprofits’ insurance policies must include coverage for contraceptives violates the religious freedom of four Catholic schools and health systems in New York City. “The government,” wrote Cogan, “has failed to show that the mandate is the least restrictive means of advancing a compelling governmental interest.” Other courts have issued preliminary injunctions against the mandate, but Cogan’s was

the first permanent injunction, or final ruling. The Supreme mandate protest: Court in March will hear a case against the application of the mandate to for-profit companies.
