Faith Based Organization? Really?
How does a faith-based organization who's foundation is loving and caring for others, have a large set of pre-existing conditions? I accept the lifestyle principles at face value. Completely consistent and no difference from USAA initially starting with Commissioned Officers whose lifestyle tends to be less risky. Got that. I can even leap to the conclusion that one's behavior is potentially a reason for disqualification from a medical condition. Like overeating for years at Church Picnics with the fatty foods and then getting high cholesterol and having to take medications. My consequence for my chosen behavior, so, my sin, my cost. Got it again. Kind of. But thyroid disease, no behavioral health, let alone any hint of a condition is a pre-condition, and you have a health plan that is so failed, its founders should be ashamed of its closet discrimination that isn't so 'closet'. So, diseases brought on by pollution, like living in a town full of chemical factories. Being subjected to trauma, without request, leaving one mentally broken. "No bueno" says the Christian organization. Foot those sinful bills yourself. Disgust at the hypocracy results. It's difficult. I did my job, worked hard, lived my life along the same principles of this organization and found myself having to care for someone 62, causing me to quit my job and live off my life savings to get to 65. There is no insurance that helps. None. Medishare COULD have.... but, given could have never been sick and have a condition and qualify for insurance that might actually help, instead of further draining what little is left.... we get this feckless organization. Like all the others.

Mr. Hendrickson, because Medi-Share is not insurance, there are some differences to be aware of, especially when there are pre-existing needs. Please understand that membership would not be denied because of pre-existing conditions. The guidelines that are in place are voted on by the members, keeping in mind that our goal is to keep monthly costs down. The ministry's intention is never to cause hardship, which is why we strive to educate those interested. Those needs could still be eligible for discounts if you stayed in the First Health network. We do realize Medi-Share is not always the best fit for every need, which is why it's great that there are many choices available today.
