WASHINGTON — The Alliance of Health Care Sharing Ministries (AHCSM.org) recently honored West Virginia State Senator Mike Azinger with the “Religious Liberty Legislative Hero of the Year” award in recognition of his bravery on behalf of the free exercise of religion.
“We thank West Virginia State Senator Mike Azinger for standing up for religious freedom and defending Christian health care,” said Executive Director of the Alliance, Katy Talento.
“We applaud Azinger for his bold stand for freedom. The Alliance of Health Care Sharing Ministries is pleased to acknowledge him and his work protecting Health Care Sharing Ministries in Tennessee by naming him our ‘Religious Liberty Legislative Hero of the Year.’”
Azinger has played a key role in West Virginia’s Christian health care by sponsoring the Health Care Sharing Ministries Freedom to Share Act. The law declares that health care sharing ministries are not health insurance and ensures not only religious liberty and health care flexibility but shows in a very tangible way that on this issue West Virginia is committed to health care freedom of choice.
Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., the Alliance of Health Care Sharing Ministries is a 501(c)(6) trade organization representing the common interests of Health Care Sharing Ministry organizations which are facilitating the sharing of health care needs (financial, emotional, and spiritual) by individuals and families, and their participants. The Alliance engages with federal and state regulators, members of the media, and the Christian community to provide accurate and timely information on health care sharing.
