Health care sharing ministries advertise reimbursements for members’ medical bills. But they are largely unregulated, and most have restrictions on maternity coverage.
Doesn’t change the fact that the people running these sketchy scams should be brought to justice and the whole thing should either be regulated or outlawed.
I think you’re conflating things here — the faith bit is just that those running the scheme are flouting their religion. The scheme itself is designed to look like a cooperative, where everyone shares the costs, without it somehow being labeled gambling or socialism.
The base concept is sound; it’s the window dressing and the actual operation of the scheme that’s twisted.
I mean I would think so too but legally they haven’t done a damn thing wrong and since we’re lead by idiots who believe in Christian theocracy that doesn’t understand the whole parable of Jesus and the moneylenders, they won’t ever be prosecuted or regulated because they think grifting people for money in the name of the Lord is perfectly fine.

Outlawed, definitely. Because fairy tales and ancient superstition are not medicine.

That pretty much sums up most organized religion.
I don’t know, maybe ensuring their flock cant afford to donate to political campaigns should be considered a public service.
There are people who skip meals to donate to Trump.
