Healthsharing is an Affordable Solution for America’s Modern Workforce

The Changing Landscape of Work and Healthcare

In today’s evolving workplace, millions of Americans are redefining what it means to earn a living. Whether it’s juggling multiple part-time jobs, freelancing, driving for rideshare platforms, or launching a solo business venture, the gig economy is booming. Yet, often missing from this flexible lifestyle is access to affordable healthcare.

According to recent data, nearly 30% of U.S. workers are employed part-time, and only 11% of them have employer-sponsored health insurance, many opting out due to the cost.

With the scheduled expiration of enhanced ACA tax credits and looming cuts to Medicaid funding, affordable healthcare is becoming increasingly out of reach.

Even small businesses struggle to absorb the cost of offering health insurance to their employees, leaving many Americans searching for a practical alternative.

A Shrinking Safety Net and Rising Marketplace Costs

Many workers who can’t get employer sponsored health insurance look to the ACA marketplace (Obamacare) or Medicaid. However, two key shifts are creating new challenges:

1. Expiration of premium tax credits — As subsidies are scheduled to expire, ACA plan premiums may increase substantially for many enrollees.
2. Cuts to Medicaid funding — Some states are tightening eligibility or reimbursement, limiting options for part-time or lower-income workers.

The result? Higher out-of-pocket costs, fewer provider choices, and greater financial strain.

Healthsharing: A Faith-Driven, Affordable Alternative

That’s where Christian healthsharing—and Liberty HealthShare—steps in.

Healthsharing offers a community-based approach rooted in Christian values and mutual support. Members voluntarily share each other’s eligible medical expenses, fostering affordability and connection.

Unlike insurance companies, healthcare sharing ministries are not regulated as insurance. This independence keeps costs down and allows members to align healthcare decisions with their faith and values.

Key Differences Between Healthsharing and Insurance

• Community support, not contracts: Sharing depends on the voluntary generosity of members.
• Faith and lifestyle guidelines: Members agree to live healthy, faith-driven lives.
• Defined cost controls: Sharing limits, Annual Unshared Amounts (AUAs), and Co-Shares help manage costs.
• Year-round enrollment: Join anytime—no open enrollment windows.
• Freedom of choice: Choose your own doctors; no restrictive networks.

Unlike health insurance companies, Liberty HealthShare doesn’t earn a profit. Instead, members’ contributions go directly toward helping fellow members pay for eligible medical expenses with minimal administrative expenses. It’s a transparent alternative that puts people over profits.
