Default Insurance coverage

Hi - I'm looking for a health insurance company that doesn't contribute to abortion, etc...I'm a single, unemployed student from PA. Do I have any options? Does every insurance company have to provide those with the mandate? I can't seem to find any straight answers online so thanks for any advice you can give!

Default Re: Insurance coverage

There are alternatives.

Samaritan Ministries is a non-Catholic health sharing organization. They distribute the costs of medical care among their members and negotiate fees.

Solidarity Health Share is a Catholic organization that will do the same when they get it going (so far, they have a signup form to request info when they become available). This organization was established specifically in response to the HHS mandate.

Strictly speaking, neither is an insurance company. However, the law allows participation in such programs in lieu of purchasing insurance.
