Looking forward to getting more information about this. Thanks for posting
I know people who pay far more in property taxes than their sky high health insurance premiums...
Health shares have been around for a long time. Amish and Mennonites for starters.
I am in a Catholic health sharing that is $259 a month for coverage for me.
We really need to kill off the current insurance model. Everyone knows it’s BS, but no one’s willing to change it.
I don’t understand why I need to work for a big company to get “cheap” insurance coverage. I get that rate because the company negotiated it on my behalf, and then covers some of my costs - but - why can’t a family like the one in the article get the same rate?
Add to that the doctors billing 2 to 10x the cost of a procedure, then accepting the 1x payment from insurance.
It’s a complicated problem that most people can’t actually solve, but it’s gotta change. Most 9-to-5ers are locked into their current work model solely because of insurance. I’d have gone freelance / contract many years ago otherwise.
Back when the kids were home we paid $2,400 a month in health insurance.
Our tax bill for the house this year (higher) is $3,600 for 6 months.
I know people who are paying ten grand and more annually on existing homes over two hundred grand.
I don’t know, but that sounds a lot to me
You must have employer provided free insurance? $259/month is nothing.

No my husband and I are on Tricare and medicare, we are both senior citizen. I guess I didn’t understand the whole thing.

Nebraska here, 7K for a 250K home in property taxes.
‘... health-sharing ministries.”
Read the fine print. Some of these ministries will drop you like a brick if they discover that you drink alcohol or smoke.

Well TriCare is the best insurance in the country. Thank you and your husband for your service.
That is true, no smoking. No smoking weed. No vaping. Because it is bad for your health. You can drink alcohol.
