As a holistic practitioner and someone blessed with good health, Karen Langston did not spend a lot of time exploring traditional health insurance options. At the suggestion of a colleague she investigated an alternative, the concept of healthsharing. It was a productive expenditure of time and effort which led her to join Liberty HealthShare in 2016.
“I knew absolutely nothing about healthsharing before looking into it,” said Langston. “As we explored our options, it appealed to us that we could share into helping people out with their health care costs, rather than paying into traditional insurance options.”
Throughout most of their membership with Liberty HealthShare, the Langstons did not experience health care issues which required sharing from their fellow members. That changed in August of 2024.
“My husband had to have shoulder replacement surgery,” said Langston. “It wasn’t until that time that I realized how powerful our membership with Liberty HealthShare was. Everyone we talked to was so helpful. They helped us through the process and reduced our stress level with their level of professionalism and compassionate communication. It was a breeze and helped us keep our sanity.”
The ministry’s record of repricing medical bills also impressed Langston. “I did not realize how successful the ministry could be in negotiating bills for a better rate. The repricing process has saved us a lot of money.”
Achieving savings is not the only reason the Langstons have had a positive experience as members of Liberty HealthShare.
“I will never go back to traditional health insurance again,” said Langston. “I have dealt with health insurance companies in the past and it was a nightmare. With Liberty HealthShare, it has been the exact opposite. The last four months opened my eyes to just how well we can be treated when it comes to managing medical bills. I am a fan for life.”
