With skyrocketing costs for traditional health insurance plans, a viable alternative presents itself in the form of Medical Sharing plans which have been around for decades.  It is important to note that while membership in a “share” plan is certainly NOT traditional insurance but feature medical coverages or “sharing” amongst plan membership that work similarly to a traditional health plan.  These plans also can feature large, national provider & hospital networks with prescription discounts and a wide range of important coverages.
