SPARTANBURG, SC – Local attorneys Pat Knie and Matt Shealy of Knie & Shealy Law Offices filed suit on February 1, 2023 in Federal Court against Liberty Health Share, a purportedly “Christian” alternative to traditional health insurance, and others, on behalf of a Gaffney resident and all SC residents for failing to pay bills, selling unlicensed insurance products, conversion, and a host of other illegal activities within South Carolina. The “Health Care Sharing Ministry,” by claiming not to be a health insurer despite clearly fitting the South Carolina definition, pitched itself to Christians and people skeptical of the federal government’s health insurance mandate. The health insurer also failed to disclose that its founders were involved in an earlier, similar scheme that devolved into what the Ohio Attorney General’s office called a “criminal scheme to defraud.” The others who have been sued were either the companies and individuals who siphoned money from Liberty or individuals involved in aiding and abetting the making of these illegal insurance contracts.
