will you and Mrs Tick.. And maybe others, share the experience of the cost share plan?
>> share the experience of the cost share plan?
Sure! If we end up going that route, be glad to.
We have participated in one, Samaritan Ministries, for going on 2 years now. Had one “claim” - an ER visit that was paid by members no problem. Very, very happy with the service - it’s a wonderful thing to know that people you don’t even know are praying for you AND sending you money. You also get the pleasure of doing the same for them.
It requires faith that it will work to step away from the insurance table though, and there are some pre-existing conditions that they don’t cover. It pays to do your research. We combine Samaritan with membership in a direct care physician practice and are very happy with that combination. Costs us together for 3 people about 575.00 monthly.

MomInCombatBoots,
We are now in “full research mode” on Christian health cost sharing, and will pull the trigger on it (or not) before the obamacare open enrollment period ends in January. I have started to post info to my home page and will add to it as it comes available, which will probably be really spotty and unpredictable, knowing me. :-)
For now I highly recommend the pamphlet I linked on my homepage. It’s from one particular provider but representative of the others.
By the way, I love your screen name! Your kids can be proud that “their mama wears combat boots”.
Blessings, Thanks for your service, and FRegards
