Major concerns for future ACA enrollments!
Fact 1: The majority of the major medical carriers have dropped out of marketplace for 2018. Companies like: Anthem, BlueCross, Humana, UnitedHealthCare, Cigna & Aetna will no longer offer coverage in the majority of the U.S. States and counties!
Fact 2: The few off-branded carriers that will remain will provide very small networks and the MAJORITY of Americans will have to switch doctors and hospitals. This will funnel participants onto fewer providers meaning there will be a waiting list to get in for general patient care!
Fact 3: Because of ObamaCare, group insurance companies are now increasing their group plan rates to compensate for the billions of dollars lost in the Marketplace due from ACA promises of reimbursements which weren't even close to covering true costs!

American Insurance Broker's offers several alternative options that is EXEMPT from the ACA penalty and keeps the government out of your insurance! Millions of Americans are searching for a better way without getting penalized. Here are some great alternatives:
Catastrophic Plans
Looking for a health coverage that provides protection from life’s major emergencies? Coverage for big medical events is considered Catastrophic health coverage, also sometimes called major medical. Generally, it’s for people who either don’t go to the doctor often or aren’t concerned about paying for minor healthcare expenses out-of-pocket as they come up.
What is a Catastrophic Plan?
Catastrophic plans have low monthly payments but a high Member Shared Responsibility Amount (MSRA). A MSRA is the amount you pay for health care services before your plan starts to share cost. Once you meet your MSRA, most catastrophic plans pay 100 percent for most services. Medical treatment for a serious illness or accident can cost thousands of dollars. So, you can see how these plans protect you from catastrophic expenses, and how they're better than no coverage.
Catastrophic Plans are Simple to Use
Catastrophic health plans are simple to use. You pay covered healthcare expenses until your cost sharing portion is met (MSRA). Then the plan starts to pay 100% toward your covered medical bills.
A catastrophic plan is for you if:
- You don’t go to the doctor often
- You can pay for minor healthcare expenses out-of-pocket
- You want to save on monthly premiums
- And you don't have major pre-existing conditions within the last 2 years
A Catastrophic Plan Scenario
Let’s say you are a person who rarely visits the doctor and can pay for routine medical bills, such as an ear infection or blood pressure check. You purchase a catastrophic cost sharing plan in which your plan covers 100% after your MRSA. This means that after your sharing portion is met, you pay $0 of covered medical bills at the hospital. Unfortunately, you have an accident that requires surgery, an extended hospital stay and rehabilitation. These services can cost thousands of dollars and are likely much more than your cost-sharing responsibility. In this scenario, you would just pay your MSRA of the covered expenses until you reach your maximum out-of-pocket maximum. What a relief!
Examples of Covered Major Medical Events:
- Heart Attack
- Cancer
- Trauma
- Hospitalization
- Surgery

Medi-Share (CCM) is a healthcare sharing ministry founded on the belief that there is a BETTER way… a Biblical way, to take care of your healthcare. A way that focuses on people, NOT profit. A way that inspires you to live a healthier lifestyle so you can fulfill the plan God has for you. We are passionate about saving you money so you can use those funds to support your family and further kingdom work.
Medi-Share is an organized way in which Christians share their money to pay for each other’s eligible medical bills.
-
It’s accountable – Members vote on the guidelines.
-
It’s affordable – There’s an option for every budget that generally saves members around 50%.
-
It’s Biblical – It’s modeled after the early church in the Book of Acts where people were of one heart and mind, and shared what they had.
-
It’s community – Members support each other in prayer and come alongside you when you need it most.
But wait, there’s more. Your Medi-Share membership also gives you zero cost 24/7 access to telehealth providers and dental and vision discounts.
How Medi-Share Works
Each month, your monthly share is matched with another’s eligible medical bills. Through a secure online portal, Medi-Share publishes the bills eligible for sharing and coordinates the direct sharing of medical costs between members. You will know every month whose bills you are paying, and when you have eligible bills, your fellow believers will be sharing those and praying for you.
Who is Medi-Share for?
Are you a Christian tired of paying the high cost of healthcare? Do you want a way to comply with the law that doesn’t involve paying for procedures that may go against your Christian beliefs?
Medi-Share may just be the healthcare solution you’ve been praying for.
With affordable options for individuals, families, and even seniors, it’s worth checking out. There’s even a group program for churches and Christian employers.
One of the advantages with Medi-Share versus other Health Share Sharing Ministries, is that only one Annual Household Portion is required "Per Family" as supposed to "Per Member" (AHP - Annual Household Portion is the responsibility amount of the member per year before major medical services will be shared. Other out-patient services are covered without having to pay an AHP.)
