Health sharing ministries rise as Iowa seeks new coverage option
Iowa residents facing high health costs increasingly turn to faith based health sharing ministries. These groups bill themselves as coverage under the ACA but operate without state regulation and with rules on faith and behavior. Medi Share in particular charges about 299 dollars monthly for families like the Brauers and requires members to cover initial medical costs up to a limit.
