> Amish commonly believe that commercial insurance plans undermine the religious duty of community accountability

As an atheist I find the Amish's religious view quite attractive. Ignoring god, it becomes plain humanitarianism and about helping each other.

Aside: I suppose one could well argue that non-commercial insurance plans would be just a formalisation of community accountability. Edit: and that's pretty much exactly what's described in the article, only without calling it insurance.
