Christian Care ministry had doctors I could call to talk to ... people I could pray with and know they really cared.

“Last week I was in Omaha. They said I was still cancer free and didn’t have to go back until October which will be the one year anniversary of the Stem cell transplant. It’s a miracle –

So what did Christian Care Medi-Share tell you about me? A crazy chiropractor – health nut – disciplined at exercise and stretching gets cancer. How unpredictable. All the statistics were wrong for me to get Mantle Cell lymphoma. I was the unexpected gender, too young, too hydrated, too healthy, too everything – but there you go – got it anyway.

That’s what you need insurance for right? But mom and I are both self-employed – 3 kids, 2 in college – one in high school – Normal health insurance was $800 - $1000 dollars a month. We could not have afforded that and we could not have afforded all this medical care either. We would have had to sell the house, both cars and empty all our accounts. Just the P.E.T (Position Emission Topography) was about $3000. I had never been in the hospital except to have my 3 children. They had me in there about 38 times and then I went to Omaha for 6 weeks. The treatment is so scary its like looking at a shark in the jaws and hearing a voice say “Go on in you’ll probably come out alive!”

Christian Care ministry had doctors I could call to talk to. They had people on the other end of their phone number. People I could pray with and know they really cared because we all considered ourselves brothers and sisters. As a doctor I work with many insurance companies. I really consider Christian Care Medi-Share above them all.”
