Retention Specialist II in Orange, California at United Faith Ministries Inc

Healthcare is increasingly unaffordable for many Americans. Most people believe they have two choices: increasingly expensive, restrictive employer insurance, or an ACA plan that keeps getting pricier. Many don't know there's a third, smarter option.

WeShare Health is that option.

WeShare Health’s mission is to make healthcare simpler, more affordable, and more human. We're a nonprofit, faith-inspired healthcare sharing organization where members contribute monthly to share one another's eligible medical expenses. We're proudly not insurance, and that's the point.

Members access a national network of 1 million physicians at 30 to 60 percent less than comparable traditional insurance. Since 2018, WeShare Health has served more than 100,000 members and shared more than $50 million in medical expenses. Our purpose is clear: people before profit.

WeShare Health is led by senior executives with deep experience across for-profit and nonprofit enterprises. We’re rated 4.6 out of 5 on Google Reviews, rated 4.7 on Trustpilot by members and certified as a Great Place To Work® by our employees. If you have a bias for action, enjoy challenges, and want to challenge the status quo to make an impact in a massive industry, WeShare Health might be the place for you!
