Medishare is not health insurance. It is one of a number of "Medical Sharing" plans. When you are admitted to a hospital under such a plan, you are considered as if you have no insurance.

There are good and bad parts to medical sharing plans and may well be an alternative for some who cannot qualify for an individual plans and do not fall into a low income bracket to qualify for a state sponsored Medicaid program such as "Medi-cal" or "Healthy Families" (children only program) in California. They are not, however, an association sponsored health "insurance" program which is regulated my the insurance commission of any state.

Medishare has a catastrophic policy attached to each plan.
