5 Top Benefits of Health Share Programs

There are several programs of this nature, some that don’t require a confession of faith and others that do. One of the biggest Health Share programs is involved with a Christian community and is putting into practice what is stated clearly in the Bible. 

The texts proclaim that Christians must lift each other up and bear their burdens of the Christian community. This is being instituted very clearly in the Health Share Programs that adhere to the testament of faith and duty that is proclaimed in the Biblical Scriptures.

The Health Share Program that pays for you and others 

This is a faith-based program which is offered by Annual Open Enrollment. It operates on the basis of donating every month to a health program that not only pays for your healthcare needs but also those of your brothers and sisters in Christ. Knowing health share programs is something close to Annual Open Enrollment.

It works on the basis that all members benefit from each other, and they are “lifting each other up,” another key Scriptural text. The Health Share Program, which you will find at.annualopenenrollment.com has been operating in the US since 1981 and has proved crucial in times when members may be out of pocket, but not out of care.

Low monthly costs a great boon to members

Unlike the health insurance plans, whose fees rocket wildly from year to year, health share program members pay what they can afford. There is also a choice of tailored programs linked to budgets and needs.

It is estimated that health insurance will rise by 3% - 4.5% in 2021 and the pandemic is already shooting the health care premiums and copays up to record levels. Health share program members need not worry about this!

Payment for healthcare emergencies on hand

Sudden medical emergencies are taken care of, such as cancer. There are many remarkable stories of how health share programs have helped in dire health cases, such as cancer or stroke.

You won’t be denied membership because of any medical condition. It would not make any sense and would not follow any Biblical criteria if a person would be turned away, say, if she had breast cancer. Imagine the tragic cases of non-Christian people in the US finding themselves in such a position with no health insurance. Getting financial help is difficult, indeed.

Freedom to choose from a network of doctors, hospitals

Health share programs have a selection of doctors and hospitals that members can choose from. They range from primary care physicians to specialists, so no-one is denied the best in healthcare treatment. Often, people outside the faith think that this “scheme” provides any sub-standard person and second-rate care. Nothing can be further from the truth.

It’s also important to remember that to become a member of a health share program means that you have to belong to a particular denomination. Fact is, you can belong to any church as long as that church holds to the message of the Holy Trinity.

After-care a big plus for health share program members

After-care patients, once they have been discharged from hospitals or clinics, have probably the best care in the world. Church members will gather around them and see to their every need. Some will often move into the patient’s home to see to their care and needs.

Also, people who can’t get to shops to buy groceries will not even have to ask for help. It will naturally be provided. Love, hope and faith will be provided in abundance.
