Every marketplace insurer must sell Silver and Gold plans; Bronze is optional, so Silver is the fair comparison. Typical = median monthly premium, age 40.

Health sharing programs NOT INSURANCE
Health care sharing ministries and sharing communities are not insurance. They are not regulated as insurance, payment of your medical bills is not guaranteed, ACA tax credits and protections do not apply, and pre-existing conditions are often limited or excluded. Prices are national (same in every county) for one adult age 40, checked October 2026.
Side by side: the typical marketplace Bronze plan here is $713/mo with a legal out-of-pocket cap; a bad year ≈ $17,513 before tax credits. Many people get tax credits that cut ACA premiums a lot; health sharing never qualifies.
† 12 × monthly price + the amount you pay before sharing starts (plus any capped co-share) for one medical need. Two needs in a year can mean paying that amount twice. Not comparable 1:1 with an insurance out-of-pocket maximum, which is a legal yearly cap. Knew Health and Medi-Share publish prices by quote only. How health sharing works
