Good story from the Wall Street Journal showing how the communities are now 
welcoming health care assistance, but on the other hand, what is the impact on the community. Community members don’t have a problem paying bills, but they want a fair bill that is reasonable. Watch the story from the video for the full story.
Now they have genetics research going on within the communities to help save their children who have high rates of some rare genetic diseases. It is far fetched to even think the communities would travel abroad for help. Dr. Morton has moved in to the community to help. THEY HAVE GENE SEQUENCING MACHINES! BD
Old Order Amish and Mennonite farmers here suffer from epidemic proportions of certain deadly genetic diseases. As they seek life-saving treatments, the uninsured in these Pennsylvania communities are struggling with escalating costs of care at nonprofit hospitals. Complicating matters is that many of these farmers won't buy health insurance: They believe it is the religious duty of their communities to provide for one another when sick. They don't pay Social Security taxes and reject Medicaid or Medicare benefits, as well as farm subsidies.
