How Can We Avoid The Rising Cost of Healthcare? | Ian Day, M.D.

In this enlightening episode of You're the Cure, Dr. Ben Edwards dives into a topic that many families are struggling with right now: the rising costs of traditional health insurance and the growing need for affordable, values-aligned alternatives. Joined by Dr. Ian Day, Chief Medical Officer of Medi-Share, the conversation explores the economic pressures of America’s “sick-care” system, why premiums continue to climb, and how healthcare sharing ministries can offer both financial relief and Christ-centered community support. Dr. Day shares his own journey from hospital-based medicine to faith-driven leadership at Medi-Share, explaining how the organization has helped Christians share each other’s medical burdens for more than 30 years. Together, Dr. Edwards and Dr. Day break down key questions listeners often have—how sharing works, what’s covered, what isn’t, how pre-existing conditions are handled, and why Medi-Share remains significantly more affordable than conventional insurance. Beyond dollars and deductibles, the episode explores deeper issues at the heart of modern healthcare: the rising burden of chronic disease, the spiritual roots of physical health, and the biblical call to steward both our bodies and our resources. You’ll also learn how Medi-Share integrates prayer, health coaching, and lifestyle support to help believers pursue whole-person wellness—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Whether you’re evaluating your insurance options, seeking a more faith-aligned health approach, or curious about the future of healthcare, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and practical guidance.
