Essentials of the Acts 4 Approach

• Healthy Living

Every family pledges to establish healthy lifestyle choices, thus preventing 70% of major illnesses. Eat right, avoid smoking, exercise, do not abuse alcohol or drugs, etc.

• Budgeting for the smaller health care bills

Acts 4 families budget and pay for smaller medical bills directly, eliminating the costly middle man. Ninety percent of health care bills  probably fall into this category.  "For each one  should carry his own load." (Galatians 6:5)

• Membership in the Acts 4 Project 

Acts 4 families pay a monthly fee of $25 ($300/yr) to establish "Acts 4 Project" membership, supporting the network and gaining access to this website that will show them where they can obtain high quality, lower cost health care services at negotiated prices.

• Helping other Acts 4 Members with their Health Care Bills

After larger bills such as for hospitalizations are lowered by the Acts 4 Project staff, members will be given a suggested donation to help cover those bills of other members who need help. Donations will always be voluntary. "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2)

• Non-members have the opportunity to help as well.

People who might have their own insurance can be placed on a list to be made aware of these needs. "Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy," (Matthew 5:7)
