Big Government Breaks Healthcare but the Church Has the Cure by Mike Sharman on May 14, 2026

In this insightful interview, Doug Apple talks with Mike Sharman about the complex landscape of healthcare laws and the rising tide of government intervention. They discuss recent legislative changes in Virginia that claim to provide affordability but often result in "float" for insurance companies and revoked authorizations for patients. Sharman argues that the true solution to the healthcare crisis isn't more regulation, but truth, transparency, and a return to the church's original role in caring for its own. -- The "Unintended" Consequences: How bills labeled for "affordability" can actually allow insurance carriers to break promises on prior authorizations and delay payments to doctors. -- The Problem with "Big": Why the massive scale of government and corporate monopolies creates a lumbering bureaucracy that hurts the individual consumer. -- The Power of the Free Market: Why competition and price transparency are real ways to lower costs and improve medical outcomes. -- A Biblical Oasis: An introduction to Share HealthCare, a Christian medical ministry that operates outside the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) to provide financial and spiritual freedom. -- Rooted in Tradition: How the practice of healthcare sharing traces back to the Anabaptist communities and the early church’s commitment to "distributing to the needs of the saints." -- Reclaiming the Church's Role: A call for the body of Christ to step back into its responsibility of providing for one another's needs rather than outsourcing compassion to the government.
