David G. Lejeune, president of America’s HealthShare, said families in Denton County are increasingly looking for alternatives to traditional health insurance as healthcare costs rise and options become more limited.
“Across communities in Texas, including places like Denton County, healthcare works best when it’s grounded in faith, freedom, and community,” Lejeune said. “America’s HealthShare allows families to share medical costs without compromising their beliefs.”
“It puts responsibility back where it belongs — with individuals and families,” he said. “That’s how healthcare should work.”
America’s HealthShare is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) healthcare sharing ministry that allows members to share eligible medical expenses with one another rather than pay premiums into a traditional insurance system. The organization supports the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, a framework popularized nationally by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, which emphasizes patient-centered care, transparency, and local decision-making.
The organization says its program focuses on upfront price transparency, allowing members to compare costs and avoid surprise medical bills. Eligible shared services include hospitalization, inpatient and outpatient surgeries, maternity care, emergency room visits, chiropractic and physiotherapy, telehealth, mental health counseling, and naturopathic and integrative medicine.
Members may also access advanced treatment categories such as precision cancer therapies, peptides, regenerative medicine, and care related to vaccine injuries. Preventive services include annual wellness exams, screening labs, nutritional counseling, fertility-awareness education, and virtual care, depending on program level.
Membership starts at $68 per month for individuals, $136 for couples, and $276 for families. America’s HealthShare offers multiple program tiers with Annual Unshared Amounts ranging from $3,000 to $12,000 and eligible medical needs sharable up to $1 million per incident.
Lejeune said interest in healthcare sharing models has grown as federal Affordable Care Act subsidies are expected to decline, which could increase monthly healthcare costs for many families. The organization uses Reference-Based Pricing to negotiate medical rates in an effort to reduce excessive charges.
Lejeune said America’s HealthShare plans to continue expanding its presence in communities throughout Texas as families seek healthcare options that align with their values, budgets, and approach to personal responsibility.
