Yes, it does.
The real problem with ObamaCare is the issue of HUGE deductibles. (and High Premiums)
My daughter just switched from ObamaCare (which she had to go to because of being divorced by my X-son-in-law) to something I think she called Medishare. It is Mennonite operated substitute for insurance. It looks a lot more sane to me than any of the alternatives.
The only drawback to it is she has to help raise a barn every other month.
I’ve heard that advertised on the radio. This is what the OMB and all of the other experts out there have no way of predicting or even understanding, marketplace innovation. In a free market society (well, at least we used to be), we really rely on our citizens freedom to come up with building a better box!
Of course when dealing with health care, there has to be some type of regulation, some type of fairness introduced into the system, but it can be minimal parameters. Let the marketplace innovation begin and let the people decided what best fits their needs.
Unfortunately, there will always be the government sponsored social safety net, but does it have to be at the federal level? Lets push this down to the lowest level possible (states and communities) and let them take care of their poor. Government closer to the people respond to their own people’s needs far better than a leviathan in Washington.
There are at least three Christian based alternatives to Obamacare. They have been ruled to be exempt from the Obamacare restrictions.
They are not “insurance” but are cooperative societies. People pay in so much a month at a base level. It is used to pay medical expenses of members (generally major medical)
Only believers are accepted as members.
It there are special needs, people are asked to voluntarily give more.
The system works very well, but subscriber bases are a small fraction of the population.
I think the total is still under a million.
About half the cost of regular insurance, or less.
I am doing a health sharing ministry too.
Medishare is a tad like a pyramid scheme. Eventually, the money runs out.
