Liberty Health Share members pay 40-60% less on their health expenses.| Liberty HealthShare Pricing | Individual or Youngest Spouse (Under 30) | Individual or Youngest Spouse (Over 30) | Annual Unshared Amount |

Liberty HealthShare will reimburse a portion of our monthly NHP Direct membership fees. Dr. Eddy is so impressed with Liberty HealthShare that he uses it for himself and his family in place of health insurance. It is a government approved healthcare cost sharing program that is exempt from the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) mandate to purchase health insurance. So, if you choose this for yourself, you will not be subject to any IRS penalties. Businesses with less than 50 employees could even use this program for their staff.
