WHAT IS
HEALTH SHARING?
There are several terms used to describe health sharing. Some of the most popular are healthcare sharing, Christian medical sharing and medical cost-sharing. But make no mistake. Whatever you call it, health sharing is not insurance.
Liberty HealthShare is a non-profit 501(c)(3) Christian healthcare sharing ministry where members can choose to voluntarily share one another’s medical expenses. It’s for people who desire more affordable healthcare, want the freedom to control their care and share Christian values.
LIBERTY HEALTHSHARE VS TRADITIONAL HEALTHCARE
Health sharing keeps you in control. You can choose any doctor. You freely decide share amounts. You have the power to determine what’s best for you and your family.

SHAREABLE MEDICAL EXPENSES*
Liberty HealthShare can help you save big on healthcare expenses. But as a community of health-conscious people, we have an ethical obligation to our fellow members. We must respect and care for our physical bodies and make wise choices to not place unnecessary burdens on those sharing with us. That’s why only medical expenses that align with our Christian values are eligible for sharing.
