Reader Request: advice on medical insurance and medical bill-sharing

Reader Bri has a great question about medical insurance:

I am a stay at home mom and my husband’s healthcare premiums keep going up – we are going to have to pay close to $600 for our family starting next year with a $5000 deductible!

We’re interested in looking into Christian medical bill sharing, i.e. Medi-share or Samaritan Ministries. I was wondering if there is anyone out there currently using one of these companies and their review of the service.

We are very nervous to NOT have insurance, but it seems we would be able to save some money with one of these services.

Please share your thoughts on medical bill sharing, or ways to save on health insurance in general, by leaving a comment on this post!
