<p>Unlike traditional health insurance,
Health Care Sharing Ministries (HCSMs)
are religiously affiliated and are not
required to pay for all medically
necessary care, despite collecting a
monthly premium, or “share,” from
members. Some states are fighting back
to bring much needed transparency to
HCSMs so that consumers are not fooled
by HCSM promises of coverage. Join us to
learn the background of HCSMs, the
current state of policy and legal
actions against HCSMs, and policy
options states can consider to protect
consumers and patients.</p>
<p>This is a hybrid presentation, and our
presenters will be joining us via Zoom.</p>
<p>Most of this presentation will be done
by Zach Snyder. Zach is State Policy
Associate at Secular Strategies. He is
an experienced government affairs
consultant, lobbyist, and legal analyst.
He has dedicated his career to helping
mission-driven organizations influence
the future of health laws and policies
at the local, state, and federal levels.</p>
<p>Zach served in various health policy
leadership roles in his career,
including Director of Government Affairs
for Blue Cross Blue Shield, leading the
Children’s Dental Health Campaign for
The Pew Charitable Trusts, and advising
numerous healthcare associations on
legal and policy matters.</p>
<p>In addition to his consulting work,
Zach is an adjunct professor, teaching
courses on the US healthcare system and
legal and regulatory aspects of
healthcare. Zach earned his J.D. and
M.P.A. from Seattle University School of
Law.</p>
<p>Sarah Levin will introduce the
organization that is bringing us this
educational program. Sarah Levin is the
founder and principal at Secular
Strategies, a consulting firm
specializing in engaging the
nonreligious demographic and advancing
policies to protect religious freedom
for all faiths and none. Sarah worked
for the Secular Coalition for America in
various roles from 2013 to 2019. In her
personal capacity, she proudly
represents the secular community as a
Co-Chair on the DNC Interfaith Council.</p>
<p>Prior to joining the Secular Coalition,
Sarah completed a year of AmeriCorps
service in Northern Virginia. She earned
her Bachelor’s degree from American
University, where she served on the
board of the university’s Secular
Student Alliance. Sarah identifies as
culturally Jewish, an agnostic atheist,
and a humanist. After spending a decade
in Washington, DC, she now lives in Los
Angeles, CA with her husband.</p>
<p>This month our presenters will be
joining us remotely via Zoom. Join us at
700 Hartford Turnpike for half an hour
of coffee and conversation at 6:30 PM,
followed by the main program with remote
presenters after brief announcements at
7:00 PM, or join online from the comfort
of your home.</p>
<p>The link will be announced closer to
the event.</p>
