I used a medi-share option before I got to age 65. It worked BETTER than medicare for those who believe.

I had to have cataract surgery on first eye under medi-share. Then two years later the other eye, under medicare. I had no out of pocket with the first. Was close to $500 out of pocket with medicare.
Also be forewarned: Allopurinol is a catalyst for cataracts. Documented, just search the web.

Medicare is only available to people who are over 65. I don't think that health insurance can be sold to people over 65, except for the Medicare supplement plans that the Government regulates. Because it is not insurance, Medi-Share is available to people over 65, and can be used as a secondary payment with Medicare being your primary health insurance provider.

Thank you everyone for this great information!

I'll be looking it all over very closely and it's a perfect way to start my education on all this!
