As Americans feel the squeeze from all angles of the economy, from groceries to car payments to housing, more people are turning to the flexibility and independence of the “gig economy” to meet their financial needs.
For all the positive features of taking this route of employment, one area which has historically been lacking for those in this type of work is access to affordable healthcare. Without the option for employee sponsored health insurance, the majority of freelancers and independent workers must face down unnavigable costs and impossible choices.
As greater numbers tend towards part-time and gig-based employment, so too are more like-minded individuals turning to Liberty HealthShare’s healthcare sharing model to manage their healthcare expenses.
Liberty HealthShare is not insurance, it is a healthcare sharing ministry that facilitates the sharing of eligible medical expenses among members. With reduced overhead and a transparent sharing model, Liberty HealthShare’s continued enrollment success indicates that many see healthcare sharing as a viable option.
With six healthcare sharing programs to choose from, independent workers can find the sharing program that best fits their needs. Liberty Rise caters to young people starting out their journey in life, Liberty Freedom offers an affordable, catastrophic sharing program, and Liberty Essential can balance the needs of gig workers and entrepreneurs alike.
As the world changes and needs evolve, Liberty HealthShare is ready to meet the challenges of the healthcare sector by inviting freelancers, gig-workers, independent contractors, and beyond into the powerful sharing community that has been fostered for more than 30 years.
