LINK Christian Health Insurance Companies Are Still Screwing Over Customers | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

Just as there’s a Christian substitute for just about everything in the secular world, there’s Christian health insurance that only the most devout believers can buy into. And just like those other Christian alternatives, it’s much worse than the original.

Unfortunately, pious people often deceive others and try to make money through human stupidity. I agree that absolutely everyone needs insurance. This is especially true in professions that directly involve the life and health of bystanders. For example, doctors take considerable responsibility for the health of their patients. By providing liability insurance, they can avoid many unpleasant situations in their professional activities. It is very easy for physicians to be sued for negligence in Ontario. So they use LiabilityCover.ca to protect themselves.

Yes. Thes selling of insurance does pretty much show a lack of faith.

Well, since Chrustianity has been screwing its followers for almost 2,000 years is it ANY wonder why it hasn't found yet another kindly (???) method to relieve that terrible strain and agony caused to muscles in either the shoulders from carrying around a purse filled with money or on the hips from carrying around a wallet full of money?
After all they are being caring and kind are they not...LOL.

Healthcare needs to be set as a basic right. We need to 86 the insurance industry and rein in big pharma

Well, our Australian Health Care system may not be perfect but at least it DOES work and EVERYONE is entitled to see a Doctor, be a patient in a hospital, get treatment and ALL without needed to pay a Health Insurance Company and Premiums that they may NOT be able to afford, it is called " Medicare."

Jesus would want them to do that.

In the last 4 years I find ads that declare companies have found health insurance for people who have diabetes, heart problems, and a list of other ailments. Am I wrong in assuming this type of healthcare ad has only shown up recently? The industry wants us to think it is doing us a favor.

They may be feeling the pressure for change.

@Canndue Obamacare required all insurance companies to provide insurance for people with pre determined conditions.

@Lorajay i know, and the ‘cans have been chipping away at it ever since...

Just like the rest of the US “Sickcare and disease management” system. With Hospitals in the US being overloaded with COVID as well as certain lifestyle diseases such as prostate and colon cancer, heart attacks, strokes already at all time highs, this may well bankrupt the system.
