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...
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.

‘... 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.

First, anyone who buys more than a bronze plan needs to review the real risked cost.
Second, unless the rates for the christian ministry plans are pre-agreed you are entering a crap shoot agreement.
Third, I have paid more than $20,000 a year now for several years for a plan for just two of us who have spent less than $1,500 a year for the last many years before the deductible.
Fourth, the effective cost of our plan, before it pays the first cent if claims is more than $30,000 right now. It is a discount plan to full price in-network services only right now and other than the christian ministry plan crapshoot is the best I can do.
Fifth, Medicare starts at the end of this year for one of us then two months later for the other. I figure we get a huge raise, plan G and better health care access than we have had since obastard care.
Hollywood found out that free healthcare is not free.
Betrayed by other liberals too.
