In California there is a mandate requiring residents to carry qualified health insurance. If you are not exempt from this requirement and do not have health insurance, you will be required to pay a penalty of 2.5% of your income, and no less than $695 per person and an additional $347.50.
We believe that people should be free to make their own decisions about their healthcare. Fortunately, members of qualified health care sharing plans are exempt from this mandate. The health sharing plans in California that we recommend include OneShare Health, Altrua Healthshare, Medi-share, Mpowering Benefits, and Sedera.
