Clergy especially vulnerable when it comes to losing health insurance

[Crabtownboy]

I would hate to see any clergy or any person loose their health insurance. Sadly it is happening all over the country as employers and governments have to cut their budgets.

While a sour economy and rising costs make it harder for small businesses to afford health coverage, one group of employees is especially vulnerable—clergy.

Many denominations provide health care for ministers, but pastors of small and independent churches can be hard-hit by rising health care costs.
Some clergy latch on to their spouses’ health care, or take a second job that offers insurance. But as the job market tightens, even those secondary solutions are hard to come by.

For ministers, health care reform has become personal.
