Does anyone know where/what/who set this up? I'm curious
I signed up with them, looks good. But I asked them who it's affiliated with/which organizations/which group within Judaism/even informally... - no answers, just 'prominent Jewish businessmen'.
Why the secrecy? If it's in order to keep a parve front then good for them, attract more business no reason to alienate anyone... but just interesting.
Maybe OP @sam123 or @yelped can shed some light? My friend says it's probably Dan because it's in Cleveland... but they seem to have terrible advertising so can't be.
from the FAQ'S;
United Refuah Health Share was founded by Boruch (Bernard) Manies and Shmuel (Alex) Hoffman, of Cleveland, OH. As successful businessmen, employers, and fathers, they saw the problems with trying to provide appropriate healthcare to their employees and their children. Over the past two years, the founders engaged others from our community to make sure the culture and the needs of the Jewish community within the Health Share were maintained and revered, while creating a superior HealthShare organization.
