Eric Baird — Independent HealthShare Consultant

Eric Baird is a licensed Utah insurance agent based in Southern Utah — and one who genuinely doesn't like selling insurance. After years in the industry and watching families overpay for coverage they barely used, he switched his focus to HealthShare education. He helps individuals, families, and small business owners understand how HealthShare programs work — and whether they represent a better alternative to traditional health insurance for their specific situation.

Eric's path to HealthShare consulting began when he recognized a fundamental problem: millions of Americans were overpaying for health insurance they barely used, locked into a system designed around profit rather than people. He began researching alternatives, discovered Zion HealthShare, and became a member himself. The experience was straightforward enough that he started helping others make the same transition.

Today, Eric has helped thousands of families across the country navigate their HealthShare decision. His approach is educational rather than transactional — he believes people make better decisions when they fully understand what they are choosing. That philosophy is the foundation of WhatIsHealthShare.com: a resource built to explain HealthShare clearly, honestly, and without the sales pressure that dominates most of the healthcare alternatives space.

Eric is also an entrepreneur with experience in multiple business verticals, including a salt delivery service supporting LDS Temples in Southern Utah and a water softener installation business. He thinks in terms of systems and leverage — and applies that same framework to helping clients find healthcare solutions that are sustainable, transparent, and aligned with their financial goals.

"To make HealthShare education so clear and honest that every person who reads it can make a fully informed decision — without pressure, without jargon, and without a sales pitch."
