You’re likely seeing the headlines flying with news of skyrocketing health insurance costs and the potential end of many subsidies for millions of households. As of this writing, there is the possibility that traditional health insurance premiums for subsidized households could almost double. There are projections that there will be a substantial number of people who won’t be able to afford their traditional health insurance, leaving them at significant risk. All of this is happening right as the open enrollment season is kicking off. It’s confusing, concerning, and might leave you wondering what can be done when it comes to healthcare costs. 1  

Thankfully, Altrua HealthShare has the experience and know-how to help families avoid these outcomes. Altura HealthShare has been sharing in eligible medical needs for over 27 years, and being part of the Altrua HealthShare membership saves families hundreds of dollars per month over the cost of traditional health insurance premiums.
