What if the church makes the monthly payment to a Health Care Sharing Ministry for the pastor?

I believe I read that this has changed in 2015. Is health insurance premiums now paid by the church considered taxable income to ministers??

You can elect to provide a health plan for minister.
even though a share program is not (insurance)
It is accepted by Fed govt by AHC act or (Obamacare)
Therefore it would seem you can simply pass a resolution for a medical plan providing it pre tax,saving much money for minister and family

The employer can decide to offer bandaids as part of healthcare plan.
so it would make sense that a federaly aporoved healthcare program could be part of Ministers package.
CHA is an approved Christian program.

Health Care Sharing ministries are not considered insurance. As I understand it, payment of these "shares" by the church would be considered taxable income to the minister.

I would think you would not include this in box 12 at all as it is not insurance.

The link referred to above is specifically for employer sponsored group health insurance.
