Healthcare Is Exploding but Your Budget Doesn't Have To by Mike Sharman

"We spend more on healthcare than we do on our house and our groceries — our food and our lodging. I mean, that is just absurd." — Mike Sharman In this interview, Doug Apple sits down with Mike Sharman, General Counsel for Share HealthCare, to discuss the staggering growth of the healthcare industry and the financial strain it places on American families. They explore the transition of healthcare from a service to a massive industrial complex and offer a practical, faith-based path forward that bypasses traditional insurance bureaucracy. -- Healthcare has become the largest industry in the U.S., employing over 20 million people and consuming 18% of every dollar spent by Americans. -- The U.S. spent $5.3 trillion on healthcare in 2024, nearly $15,500 per person, which is 50% higher than the next highest-spending nation. -- New data shows that 63% of all new jobs created recently were in the healthcare sector, signaling massive profitability. -- Government involvement has reached "socialist" levels, with 47% of all healthcare spending coming from federal, state, or local government. -- Success stories from "Trump RX" demonstrate that cutting out middlemen and pharmacy benefit managers can drop drug prices significantly. -- Share HealthCare offers a 501(c)(3) nonprofit alternative that is exempt from the Affordable Care Act, allowing for monthly shares as low as $149 for individuals and $349 for families. -- By choosing a healthcare sharing ministry, Christians can ensure their money isn't used to fund procedures like abortion or sex change surgeries.
