NEW Jewish HealthShare unitedrefuahhs.org

As a Liberty HealthShare member I really hope this one should work out, they hired a former Liberty manager to run it, and they've created a different structure that'll hopefully cover itself, (Liberty is not covered lately fully).

What I mostly love about it is that they allow to have another regular insurance and they'll share in with the deductible, so people can buy an insurance with a large deductible or a catastrophic insurance to be safe in case they can't pay.

They put in a lot of work to get this up and running. Was a long time in the planning.

How does it work? Do they need a minimum amount of people to commit?

Will they allow any pre-existing conditions? My understanding is that liberty mutual considers pregnancy a pre-existing condition

Seems to be a lot more expensive than liberty. Though I guess you will need significantly higher rates to carry a pool consisting mainly of large families with frequent pregnancies who run to the doctor for every sniffle.

Liberty will have to charge more soon as they can't cover themselves right now.

Also, at United Refuah members will still pay 20% of the first few thousand dollars, to make people think twice before running to the doctor.

And lastly, they told me they're connecting with a large 24/7 Tele Doctor Network, to help people get medical care for much cheaper, when possible.

Hopefully, this will succeed. We can use new thinking.

Arevim is a great example of original thinking that is a major success. Why am I thinking about them now? Because they didn't charge in ages and I got a notice last week that they will charge and I happen to know the family of orphans.

Correct. But at least it's a Jewish Health Share Ministry.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Never had one, so I couldn't tell you.

I'm confused as far as I read only existing cost sharing health sharing companies are exempt from the ACA mandate they had to have existed a bunch of years ago to get the exclusion...so will you still get the fine with this company Yes I know the fine is going away but not till 2019...
