Share HealthCare With Mike Sharman - Discussing Medical Freedom, Religious Freedom and Financial Freedom Through Health Care Sharing

Sociologist W. Bradford Wilcox is the National Marriage Project director at the University of Virginia, and he just released a book entitled “Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization” “Get Married” cites Census Bureau data from 2020 showing that married mothers ages 18-55 had a median annual family income of $108,000, compared with $41,000 for single peers without children. Mothers in their 50s had accumulated $322,000 in median assets, compared with $100,000 for childless single women. “There’s a huge financial advantage to marriage that has only grown since 1970,” Mr. Wilcox said. “Some living expenses have increased, creating a benefit to two people earning together, regardless of whether they have children.” In a New York Times article, University of San Francisco law professor Lara Bazelon said divorce is “liberating, pointing the way toward a different life that leaves everyone better off, including the children.” Mr. Wilcox said Ms. Bazelon was gaslighting. His book cites federal education statistics and national surveys showing that the children of divorced parents are “almost twice as likely to be suspended or expelled from school,” 75% more likely to use drugs and “about half as likely” to finish college. His book notes that the rates of married adults with children are highest among the wealthiest and most educated residents of “gentrified urban neighborhoods and gilded suburbs,” regardless of their politics and public support for a single lifestyle. Mike Sharman of Share HealthCare talks about these statistics, pointing out that marriage was God's good plan all the way back in the book of Genesis, and it is still a good plan today. +++++++ You can find out more information about Share HealthCare by calling 1-844-Share HC, or by visiting their website: https://sharehealthcare.com/

The average annual cost of food for a family is $17,212. The average annual cost of health insurance for a family is $23,968. Something is definitely wrong with our economy when a family is paying more for health insurance than food! 1. Money worries are stressful, and stress leads to poorer health. 2. Money worries often mean buying cheaper, processed foods, which leads to poorer health. 3. Having to choose between health insurance or food leads to poorer health. Mike Sharman of Share HealthCare says there is a better way! +++++++ You can find out more information about Share HealthCare by calling 1-844-Share HC, or by visiting their website: https://sharehealthcare.com/

Valentine's Week is when our thoughts turn to love, and that's a good thing. The Bible tells us to love one another, but do you feel that love when you think about your health insurance provider?

In Share HealthCare, Christian believers are joining together to love one another by sharing each other's major medical expenses. It works, and it's Biblical!

The Hardiness Factor and the Three C’s. Hardy is a word you don’t hear so much anymore. Today we might use words like “rugged” or “resilient.” If a person is “hardy,” it means they can stand strong and overcome harsh conditions. So the question is….are you hardy? Am I hardy? And what can we do to become more hardy…more rugged and resilient? We’re going to talk about that today with Mike Sharman, the legal counsel for Share HealthCare. Why is this word “hardy” important today? What can we all do to get better at this?

Health insurance is either your number one cost or your number two cost, after your mortgage. It's not retirement, not planning for the kids' college, not saving for a vacation, but paying for health insurance. The good news is that when we as the body of Christ come together and do things God's way, good things result. --Mike Sharman +++++++ You can find out more information about Share HealthCare by calling 1-844-Share HC, or by visiting their website: https://sharehealthcare.com/

A piece in the Boston Globe compares the Canadian healthcare system to ours in the United States. Many Canadians are proud of their healthcare system, and many Americans want to move to the Canadian model...but is it better? Is it all that it is being made out to be? What about the whole concept of a single-payer system? We take a closer look at wait times, which is a key comparison metric. We also talk about the advantages of working with a small healthcare sharing ministry like Share HealthCare. With Share HealthCare wait times are less because you aren't bound to a network, and you aren't even bound to stay in the United States for care. +++++++ You can find out more information about Share HealthCare by calling 1-844-Share HC, or by visiting their website: https://sharehealthcare.com/

Some people say this could be the start of World War III, but in a way it has already started since it is impacting the whole world already. God has always had Israel at the center of the planet, so we need to look at these things in a biblical context. The Bible tells us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Many people say that Israel needs the United States, but the United States also needs Israel. God's hand is on Israel. How could such a tiny country survive in the midst of fierce enemies without God's hand being on them. Hitler's Germany incrementally worked up to barbarism. Hamas STARTED with barbarism. Hitler wanted to annihilate all Jews. Hamas has specifically said, "Not one Jew left." That is their intention. +++++++ You can find out more information about Share HealthCare by calling 1-844-Share HC, or by visiting their website: https://sharehealthcare.com/

Millions of people find themselves without Medicaid coverage and seeking an alternative. The headlines tell their tale... NBC News: “Millions lost Medicaid coverage when pandemic protections expired in the spring.” “The nation’s health insurance system is undergoing tremendous upheaval as an estimated 8.2 million people will need to find new coverage since pandemic protections for Medicaid enrollees came to an end this spring. That’s leaving many patients confused about how to get new medical insurance.” FROM NPR: Medicaid grew dramatically during the pandemic. Just a few months ago — in March — the number of people on Medicaid was 93 million. That's about 1 in 4 people in the U.S. on Medicaid, which is the government health program for people with low incomes and for some with disabilities.
