<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>
