I can see huge savings possible in this model. The reduction of provider and insurance overhead is huge. It also emphasizes personal responsibility and social connection. We could have used this with the past year on COBRA at $1500 a month.

It’s great for healthy people, second in greatness only to “no plan, no insurance” in that regard.
So @Jolly, when do think you will dump your conventional healthcare plan for a healthcare sharing ministry?

Appendix 2 in the article has a nice comparison table across multiple HCSMs.

Lad, my healthcare is guaranteed and subsidized at 75% of cost.
You can only dream of having healthcare as good as mine. It didn't happen by accident.

A while ago, I remember reading an article about a doctor (or group of doctors) in Oklahoma (I think), that provided regular doctor service, but it was cash only, no insurance. Pretty sure that they were GP's.
They were able to keep costs quite reasonable because taking care of insurance required so many extra people in the office, plus time, plus etc.
I think this would work for general care and some basic out patient surgery, but probably would not work for detailed medical issues.
