#225: Healthcare Done Right (Feat. Jeff Street)

We are talking about something completely new today... Interested? Welcome our guest Jeff Street who partners with Health Sharing to help families live financially wise while taking care of their health. The Health Sharing model is a business both Jeff and his wife work for and sell services to families regarding health insurance. He is passionate about the healthcare system and knows there is brokenness within it. The purpose of this podcast is to bring knowledge into your family regarding healthcare.   At Crazy Cool Family, we don't do a lot in the financial realm of family, but there is always a first time right? What better place to start than health care, an issue every family has to deal with.  A lot of our listeners have health care issues due to having their own business, being self-employed, or wanting an expansion of traditional health care options. In addition, the cost of traditional health insurance is getting more and more expensive.   In the past, as an alternative to traditional health insurance, religious organizations have had health sharing organizations where members had a network to share medical expenses. Now there are health sharing organizations who have gone beyond religious affiliation and are inclusive to all people groups.  In this podcast, my friend Jeff Street shares with us the pros and cons of health sharing with lower cost and new improved systems versus traditional health sharing options. We have a very frank discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of each option that we feel will be helpful to many of our parents.    “The reason Health Sharing works so well in America is because 5% of our population equates 50% of all healthcare costs within our country. Most people are healthy but are paying for those who are not.” - Jeff Street Here are the main points from the episode:  Health Sharing is designed for those who don’t have health insurance due to high cost   Health Sharing is not designed for someone who has pre-existing conditions or life-long illness  The maximums and unique cases people may face and how insurance works  How Health Sharing works and how the average American family can benefit from using it  All culture and races use Health Sharing, even though it is a Christian faith-based business  The positives and challenges of Health Sharing (there are both!)   There is a lot we unpacked here, but this is worth the listen, research, and discussion.
