Back in 2003 I experienced the most intense debate I have seen at District Conference. District Conference is our annual meeting of the Western PA District of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. So you want to know the debate?
It all started with the definition of "group" for health insurance cost. We had a plan in the District were we could enter, but did not have to enter. The insurance company then wanted 100 percent participation. That was where things started to erupt. The hard part about the whole deal was that they could not give us a price. They also refused to give us a list of benefits, co-pays, or limitations.
Obviously, that did not sit well with a lot of people. The best explanation was you want us to buy a car that we have no idea what it is, how it looks, or how much it costs. Hopefully, when you make a important decision, you know what you are buying.
Now you might be wondering why I am thinking about all of this six years later. Well, I see the same thing happening on a national level. We will leave it at that.
