The Amish all self insure. Meaning each Group/church pays for the medical needs of the group. Many communities have fund raiser for this fund. If they have a high pay out year then each family chips in and puts money back into the fund.
The Amish pay all income taxes but zero Social Security. They usually join the Church when they turn 18 or 21. Part of that is signing a waver with Social Security that they will never receive any benefits, retirement or disability. You can sign that waver too. It is a one time never to go back deal. That is also one of the small reasons very few ever leave the church.
There are some that have left the Amish and turned Mennonite.
As for the Mennonite insurance. The do have their own companies. They are a Mutual company that is funded by payments for all the members. The advantage they have over the Amish in this is the Mennonite fund covers groups in many locations not just the local community. They pay a smaller premium each year. Then if the premiums do not cover the expenses then you pay more the next year. Their house/property and liability insurance is handle the same way.
I only know this because I have sold equipment to both groups. They would take advantage of zero interest payment plans. So I had to get the paper work together to go with the retail note.
The medical insurance I know about because several of our feed customers are Mennonite and Amish. They have various fund raising events and I usually donate something.
I like much about both groups. They do support each other inside the community like the rural farm communities did years ago.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
