Original poster here. To be part of our community, you must abide by the community's rules. Our values include an ideal of male-female marriage, no sex outside of marriage, no drug use or alcohol abuse, etc. You know, the things we adherents of the Bible have believed for 3500 years. :-) Interestingly enough, many of our values -- monogamy, heterosexual marriage, no drugs or alcohol abuse -- tend to produce people with fewer health issues. You don't have to agree with us. If you don't like our values, by all means form your own medical health sharing groups.

Sure, I get it. I was genuinely intrigued. It seems that every health sharing program has a Christian background. Was wondering if there were other associations available. But how is heterosexual marriage healthier than homosexual marriage? I'd like generally know more about your prescription prices, if you don't mind elaborating (if you have any).

  Homosexuality in general is associated with higher risk of disease[0]. But from a values standpoint, we believe (as we have for 3500 years) that God's ideal for humanity is monogamous male/female marriage. Homosexuality can't produce children and families, which are important for the stability of a civilization. And, frankly speaking from experience, as a child and teen I benefited from having both a masculine father and a feminine mother. I needed both growing up. They both taught me things the other couldn't. All other things being equal, it is good and scientifically natural for a child to have both a mother and a father. Prescriptions: Prescription prices can be bad. You get discounts as a self-payer. Places like Costco and Walgreen's typically have a membership where you get a pharmacy card and thus lower costs on prescriptions. But ultimately you're on the hook for the cost; health sharing ministries (at least, the one I'm using) don't help with it. If you have high cost prescriptions, health sharing ministries might not be a good option for you. [0]: https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/msm/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/msm/index.html
