"For example, the ACA requires insurers to spend at least 80% of premiums on health care; Sharity spent about 16% on health care and pocketed the rest."
Reading that entire post and trying to understand how anyone could fall for it gave me a headache. It's not exactly a Ponzi, but it's definitely not an insurance plan either, it's a money harvesting/skimming operation masquerading as an insurance pool. Christianity is the lipstick on this flying pig...because otherwise no one could be stupid enough to believe that faith-based cost sharing would work.
Ya gotta have faith to believe something like this is a real insurance plan. You just have to send in money and pray that you don't get sick..
Call it a ministry, and you've got a cover for just about any scam you can dream up. These people personify the disconnect between religion and morality, as well as making compelling cases for atheism.
Once they start screaming how persecuted this poor little christian company is then more christians than ever will give them money and overlook everything the company has done to rip off their fellow christians in an effort to fight Satan and stop him from making a company suffer the consequences of their own actions.
"They thought they were getting health insurance from a company that proudly proclaimed conservative Christian values."
Well, there's their problem. Has anything good ever come out of anyone or anything that proclaims conservative christian values? Ever? Too many people think that sharing a delusion means something more than both of you are crazy.
I called "Medishare" once. They said their operators were "super easy to talk to"...except when they hang up on you when they find out you're an atheist. ;)
"Aliera denied a $15,000 claim for breast cancer treatment ..."
Well, of course they did! You don't expect a good Christian organization to cover *gasp* boobies, do you?
Also, if I may be annoying for a moment, I'm just gonna fangril all over John Oliver. I finally broke down and subscribed to a streaming service just so I could see his show. The guy's a fucking treasure.
Yet another example of Christians behaving in a distinctly non-Christian way. But at least they are only ripping off fellow Christians which isn't quite so bad. Although how these guys sleep at night I just don't know. Maybe it's a Christian thing. :)
"This week, California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a civil lawsuit against Aliera and the Moses family that founded Trinity Healthshare (now known as Sharity Ministries… which seems appropriate since it’s a sham charity)."
They changed it to a ministry, and Christian privilege will give them a "get out of jail free" card. Just another Christian grift.
"Christians put money into the system with no guarantee that anything would come out on the other side."
Just like they do every Sunday.
If ANY business has to rely on its religiosity to sell its shit, it is untrustworthy at best, and most likely a scam.

So THIS is Trump's big, beautiful health care plan? Pay to Pray.

Christians demonstrating that they're far more into preying than praying.
It's pretty obvious why. Praying nets nothing. Preying gets results for them.
Leviticus 25:17 has the biblical god itself telling believers not to take advantage of one another. It even tells them to fear him instead.
More scripture ignored as inconvenient by people who don't really follow the god they claim to.
