The Rising Cost of Care—and the Community Rethinking It All (Dr. Ian Day)

Sky-high healthcare costs and confusing insurance options have a lot of believers searching for better answers. Dr. Ian Day explains how the Medi‑Share community helps families handle major medical needs the old-school way: one neighbor helping another, plus a lot more prayer than paperwork. He breaks down what healthcare sharing is, what makes it different from insurance, and why biblical wellness isn’t just a philosophy—it’s a lifestyle that reduces stress and strengthens community.


Highlights

  • Why costs are climbing: pharmaceuticals + chronic conditions + marketplace demand

  • Big sticker alert: premiums rising fast for millions of Americans in 2026

  • What healthcare sharing actually is: members voluntarily share eligible medical bills

  • Not insurance, but a structured membership community with faith-aligned guidelines

  • What isn’t shareable: procedures or bills that conflict with a biblical lifestyle

  • What is shareable (and pretty wonderful): maternity care, delivery, newborn care, and adoption support

  • The overlooked miracle of accessible care, clean water, and everyday medicine

  • How personal faith carried Dr. Day through a 15-minute “zero cardiac activity” moment

  • Prayer as part of care, not an add-on; members are supported holistically—mind, body, spirit
