Why We Started Our Ministry
On Easter Sunday, 2011, Chris’ late wife Angela was admitted to the hospital after an emergency room visit revealed a large mass in her colon and multiple masses in her liver. The diagnosis was stage IV metastatic colon cancer, with no chance of a cure. Upon doctors informing the couple of the news, Angela’s words to Chris were, “Jesus still rose, so we will trust.”
Her witness in death inspired Chris and his friend Dr. John Oertle to launch Solidarity HealthShare, a national not-for-profit ministry that provides an affordable and ethical alternative to fund healthcare costs while protecting and practicing Catholic beliefs. Watch as Chris shares the ups and downs of getting Solidarity off the ground and enjoys many laughs and some singalongs with the BeatiDudes throughout it all.

Competitive Pricing
On average, a Solidarity Membership is 6% more affordable than other healthcare sharing ministries, and over 60% more affordable than a traditional health insurance policy.
Truly Comprehensive.
Your health matters, and it deserves the best care possible. Solidarity HealthShare provides comprehensive sharing for a wide range of medical services, ensuring that you and your loved ones are not only protected from unexpected medical expenses, but living as healthy as you can. From preventive care to major medical events, we have your back every step of the way.
Wellness Visits
One wellness visit per Member per year is shared 100% even before your meet your Annual Unshared Amount (AUA) out of pocket. We believe that you should be proactive about their health, rather than just getting treated once you're sick.
Integrative & Alternative Treatments
We share into any alternative treatments that are medically necessary, evidence-based, and prescribed by a physician. This can include things like acupuncture, massage therapy, and chiropractic care.
Unlimited Mental Health Counseling
Solidarity is the first healthsharing ministry to fully share mental health treatment for its Members. We believe your mental, physical, and spiritual health are all crucial and all connected to one another.
Life-Affirming Fertility Treatments
We share into any ethical fertility treatments, including Natural Procreative Technology treatments that treat the core issues causing the infertility or other gynecological issues.
Long-Term Generic Prescription Sharing
Our program includes sharing for generic prescriptions, including chronic conditions and pre-existing conditions, as well as short-term medications. You have a small co-share, and the rest is shared by the Membership.
Comprehensive Maternity Care
Maternity care the way that works best for you. We include birthing centers, home births, midwifery, lactation consultations, progesterone supplementation, and much more to provide exactly the care that you need individually.
Hospice and Home Healthcare
Life-affirming care doesn't end with birth, but rather extends all the way through a natural death that respects human dignity. That is why we share into hospice and home health care.
Ambulance Services
We share emergency air or land ambulance transportation to the nearest medical facility, so you can always be confident your family will be taken care of.
Major Medical Services
Hospital admissions, emergency testing, surgeries, etc. Our program is extremely comprehensive when it comes to major medical services, all shared 100% after the Annual Unshared Amount (AUA) is met.
Ethical Approach.
At Solidarity, we believe in the power of community and compassion. Our program is built on the Catholic principles of solidarity (that's where we got the name!) and subsidiarity. Our Members come together to share in each other's medical expenses, without sacrificing their conscience along the way.
Pro-Life Care from Conception to Natural Death
Your money will never fund abortion with Solidarity like it does with traditional insurance. Beyond that though, we go out of our way to share into life-affirming medical treatments, such as Restorative Fertility Care, NFP Instruction, and Comprehensive End of Life Care.
Faithful to the Teachings of the Catholic Church
We never share any medical expenses that violate the teachings of the Catholic Church. This includes "treatments" such as contraception, abortifacients, IVF, surrogacy, and transgender surgeries/therapies. Our Members don't have to choose their conscience or quality healthcare, they get to have both!
Fair & Just Medical Pricing
We consider medical overpricing an ethical issue. That is why we fight for fair and just pricing for our Members with our Reference Based Pricing model. This fresh approach results in ~60% savings off billed charges historically, far greater than traditional insurance can achieve.

Our Impact
“Solidarity really does speak to us in every way. It fits our growing business. It fits our growing family. It fits my love for the teachings of Jesus Christ in the gospel as experienced and described through the Catechism of the Catholic Church.”
– Jeff Schiefelbein, BeatiDude, Member
"Solidarity is our miracle. I wanted an overnight miracle, like you're healed instantly... but Solidarity has been our miracle"
- Christina Jacobeen, Member
"We have to be responsible for our healthcare, for ourselves, and, again, not overtly, but just because of what Solidarity is and how it’s comprised, we’re encouraged to do that. And it’s a win-win for everybody, and it’ll be a win-win, I think, for our nation’s healthcare."
- Lorraine Ranalli, Member
