Why Health Insurance is Bankrupting Families (and What to Do About It)

Why is health insurance so expensive today? Even with insurance, American families are under financial strain and even bankruptcy because of denied claims. Not to mention the fact that many health insurance providers are supporting immoral practices. What are we as faithful Christians to do? Thankfully, there are a growing number of alternatives to health insurance that Christians can rely on to pay the bills that won't violate their conscience. Today I sit down with Andy Schoonover, to talk about one of these alternatives. Andy is the founder of CrowdHealth, a disruptive approach that allows members to crowdfund one another's healthcare. The best part is that each member can designate her funding to a specific individual and treatment, fostering a spirit of Christian charity that enriches the giver’s soul as much as it promotes healing for the recipient. Plus, Andy shares the moving story of the 10 hours he spent with his daughter, Grace, who passed from anencephaly and how this event inspired him on his mission to support families experiencing health crises.
