Does anyone know if Health Shares are an actual viable alternative to insurance? or are they just a scam? Someone mentioned it during the ACA ama recently, but I can't really find any recent information...

Like this one: http://ift.tt/1EQbgkk For my situation (under 30, no pre-existing conditions, physically fit) it looks like premiums would be $150/month with a $500 deductible. My next closest option on healthcare.gov is $300+per month with a $7000 deductible. According to their website, members of Health Shares qualify for an exemption from the ACA uninsured tax penalty. Does anyone know if this is true or not? It seems like such a better option than anything else offered on the marketplace...
