Is Christian Healthcare Ministries included in the U.S. health care legislation?
Anyone who is a member of a health cost sharing ministry is exempted from penalty under the national health care bill signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. Christian Healthcare Ministries meets each of the qualifications set forth for health cost sharing ministries in the U.S. health care legislation. Many experts and analysts predict that health insurance premiums will actually increase under the new health care law because of the new people coming into the system and other requirements. CHM will not be affected by insurance premium increases because it is not an insurance company. The ministry will continue to provide affordable, quality health cost sharing support.
