A judge in Kentucky will soon hear arguments on whether or not a Florida-based Christian-only health care group should be held in contempt of court for operating in the state.
Medi-Share,
a charity that provides insurance help for churchgoers, will be going
to court once more as the Kentucky Department of Insurance has accused
the company of disobeying a permanent injunction against it doing
business in the state.
The case will be brought before Franklin County Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate, who recently set a hearing for Wednesday, Aug. 30.
Christine
Cape, a spokeswoman for Medi-Share, told The Christian Post that the
legal issues between Medi-Share and the Kentucky Department of Insurance
go back to 2002.
"The 2002 action was eventually heard in the
fall of 2006, which is the time at which the appellate record that the
Kentucky Supreme Court considered in making its ruling was created,"
said Cape.
"Medi-Share prevailed at the 2006 trial, and the
Kentucky Department of Insurance appealed to the Kentucky Court of
Appeals. Medi-Share prevailed at the Kentucky Court of Appeals and the
Kentucky Department of Insurance appealed to the Kentucky Supreme
Court."
