Been reading and searching about Health Share options from what I can see they sound appealing. Anyone have experience good or bad?
ACA Coverage for me as a single male age 52 with an annual gross income of about $80,000 to 120,000 will be steep.
I like the health share model where you tell provider you are a uninsured cash payer - they tend to give generous discounts. A few weeks ago with no insurance I had a CAT scan done cash price paid in full price was $2,500 that is about 3X less than I paid when insured by Optum as an employee a few years ago!
So anyone have rational reasons to go Health Share vs ACA ? From what I've seen it might be possible to still contribute to a HSA which would be fantastic for the tax free growth and relatively easy access to the money.
