@bathina...last comment on this subject with you....

My local hospital offers for the very small charge of $50.00 bloodwork...the 'typical' blood work that my physician would order on a yearly basis....it is a cash deal, and a doctor does not have to order the blood. work.

If my hosptal can offer that for $50.00 they must be making some money. If I went thru my doctor, and sent it to my 'traditional' insurance the cost would be much, much higher.

Before I switched to the new health plan my old plan would allow some tests to be done every year....who needs a colonoscopy every year if you are not having issues, but I know that people took advantage of the that provision in the policy and had the test yearly.....what a waste of my money that I paid toward that policy. There is nothing wrong with an insurance company traditional or non traditional negotiating with a provider to lower a bill....we all know they over charge.

@Icegoddess. I feel your pain......ACA...Affordable Care Act.....it's a joke, who can afford it....I did check in to one of the plans on the market place, very expensive for not much coverage, that is why I went with the faith based plan....

I do not drink, will not be having an abortion or get a se#ually transmitted disease so not worrying about getting something that they will deny coverage...we all have choices to make and this one is working for me.

Not sure where it says in this link that this coverage is ACA compliant. The ACA requires insurance companies accept patients with pre-existing conditions. The ACA wiped out llifetime caps. Neither of those regulations apply to medi-share.
