Cut Your Healthcare Costs With Lauren Gajdek

How is being a member of Christian Healthcare Ministries more flexible than most health insurance plans?

CHM members are not limited to a provider network. They can go to any doctor or hospital if the treatment is eligible according to CHM guidelines. This gives members more flexibility and control over their healthcare than typical health insurance plans.

Where does CHM’s ministry concept originate?

CHM draws its concepts from the New Testament, where the Book of Acts says that all the believers pooled their resources together and shared what they had. So, CHM practically does that nowadays with medical costs. The spiritual component of what they do is vital to CHM, as they also pray for each other and send cards and emails of encouragement. It is an excellent example of the body of Christ serving one another.

On Today’s Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:

• I've been through over a decade of financial abuse, so I'm starting off having to reestablish with a low income. Are there any investment opportunities with a smaller amount that I can receive returns on, keeping some and then reinvesting the other? Also, do you have any other ideas for someone with a low income?
• I'm considering retiring to get my money out of the company I work for now, but I don't know how much the government will take because I'm not 65 yet. Is there a cut-off where they don't take anything?
• When I was stationed in Fort Polk and Fort Hood and bought houses, we had insurance that covered me if something happened to me, and the house would be paid for. I can't find those insurance policies anymore. Do you know of a resource that can help me track those down?
