Are you looking for option for your family? I have a great, nationwide broker that can guide you to find the best and most affordable policies including traditional insurance and sharing plans.

It’s Open Enrollment Season

Many families I work with are shocked at how expensive traditional health insurance has become.

Health-sharing programs can be a powerful, more affordable alternative—especially for healthy families or those wanting more flexibility and choice in their care.

Here are my top three recommendations (I like them so much I have affiliate links :) :

Impact Health Sharing

A modern, transparent approach to medical cost sharing.
• Straightforward pricing structure
• Virtual care options included
• Great for families, small businesses, and individuals paying high premiums

Zion HealthShare

Simple and predictable model that lets you choose your own providers.
• Easy-to-understand “Initial Unshareable Amount” structure
• Flexible membership options
• Strong option for freelancers or families looking outside traditional insurance

Is this really what medicine had become? I got this message from a parent of an 8 year old taken to St. Louis children's hostiptal. Utterly disturbing. I hope its not true or minimally some missing context

'She went from Focalin to Vyvanse. And had a psychotic episode at the school. Where she had to be taken to Children’s Hospital by ambulance.
The whole experience was horrible and traumatic for her. ...I’m talking about the whole Children’s Hospital experience. Much things happen in between the time we got there from 3:30 PM till we got released at 1 AM in the morning. My main concern was that the psych team that came in were from SAS. I’m guessing that’s the right way to say it....they had a clipboard with questions. After name etc… to her… number four on the question board was if you like boys or girls. She said girls. They both perked up and one of them said oh so you would date a girl. She was confused and said no. Boys are stinky and girls are my friends. At that point, I asked them to stop. And they tried to School me on the fact that they know at an early age. And I said no She doesn’t even know if she wants chicken nugget or a hamburger when we go through the drive-through at McDonald’s. Which is rare but you get my point and they said they know at a young age and they need you to be supportive. At that point, my husband and I couldn’t take it any longer.'
