CMF Curo

[Kateri89]

Hey guys I started a thread not too long ago about Samaritan Ministries and if anyone had any experience with it.  I just read that they "merged" (for lack of a better word) with a Catholic Living Healthcare Ministry.  CMF Curo remains a part of Samaritan Ministries but essentially is an "insurance plan" for Catholics.  Kind of like picking a provider (Samaritan) and then picking the "plan" you like.  I keep using quotes because anyone familiar with this healthcare option knows that it's not actually insurance but Christians sharing their healthcare costs with each other so that they can still receive healthcare without violating their consciences and without having to pay the penalty for opting out of traditional insurance plans. 

Since CMF Curo is pretty new I'm not sure how many people are familiar with it but I was curious if anyone had any knowledge about it.  They have a website full of info and one of the nice features of this is that you have a Visa card that is used specifically for paying medical costs.  I'm not totally clear on the details whether it's treated like a debit or credit card but it makes payments a bit simpler.  Anyway, I had been leaning toward Samaritan Ministries anyway and then found out about this new option which seems great so I just wanted to mention it on PM for informational purposes as well as gleaning feedback from anyone currently enrolled in it.
