A Health Care Option You Should Consider

Open Enrollment for Health Care is Happening Now

Occasionally I will share about recommended resources, organizations and partners.

What if there was an option beyond the complicated, confusing (and expensive) world of health insurance? As you know, health care costs can be ridiculous.

That’s why most Americans across all income levels say that health care is a major financial stressor.

Medi-Share, the largest and most-trusted Christian health care sharing ministry, might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Almost 30 years ago, my friends at Medi-Share came up with a better way to do health care. And now close to half a million Americans count on Medi-Share.

Get this… Members save up to 50% or more on their monthly health care costs. That's about $500 on average! Imagine what you could do with $6,000 in savings a year!

Plus, one of my favorite things about Medi-Share is that members enjoy unlimited Professional Virtual Counseling services for free! You can speak to a professional counselor as frequently as you need to.

But it’s not just the savings that make Medi-Share a great health care option for you and your family...  They also have a 98% Customer satisfaction rate. They are a Health Care Option that YOU CAN TRUST.

So when is the best time to join Medi-Share? Right now. It’s open enrollment season until the end of the year.

I encourage you to check them out. It literally takes 2 minutes to see how much you could save!

Again, members of Medi-Share enjoy huge savings plus receive unlimited professional virtual Counseling for FREE!
