The Woman Who Refuses to Leave the Hospital in Tallahassee by Mike Sharman

In this eye-opening interview, Doug Apple sits down with Mike Sharman, General Counsel for Share HealthCare, to discuss a bizarre legal battle unfolding at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare. A patient admitted in 2025 was cleared for discharge in October but simply refused to go. Now the hospital is turning to the courts. Sharman unpacks how federal regulations, fear of litigation, and a lack of "drawing lines" have created a system where taxpayers and insured families foot the bill for millions in unnecessary expenses. More importantly, he offers a way out for Christians tired of the rising costs and ethical compromises of traditional insurance. Main points covered in this episode: -- How the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) can help keep non-medical patients in high-cost hospital beds. -- The breakdown of local social services and the legal system’s inability to address "squatting" in medical facilities. -- Why stabilizing a patient has turned into a taxpayer-funded residency. -- The massive price gap between the government exchange model and Christian health sharing. -- Why Share HealthCare focuses on "medically necessary" expenses while excluding lifestyle choices that don't honor God. -- The effectiveness of Christ-centered recovery programs like Teen Challenge over commercial high-cost clinics. Scriptures for Further Study -- Galatians 6:2-5 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:10 +++++++ You can find out more information about Share HealthCare by calling 1-844-Share HC, or by visiting their website: https://sharehealthcare.com/
