Presidio Healthcare launches FortressPlan, America’s first pro-life, Christian health insurance option
DALLAS – Presidio Healthcare makes history as the first Christian, pro-life health insurer in the country. Founded by Daniel Cruz and Bob Hogan, both committed pro-life advocates and healthcare experts, Presidio is proud to be blazing a new trail as the only health insurance company that aligns with Christian values and upholds the sanctity of life.
Texans can now enroll in the FortressPlan by Presidio Healthcare, the first regulated health insurance built on Christian principles, providing real coverage that protects both the health and the conscience of their customers.
“Until today, there has been an absence of ethical choices for pro-life Christians in the market for health insurance,” said Presidio CEO and co-founder Daniel Cruz. “We've been anxious to fill that gap, and that moment is finally here. By offering real insurance for pro-life Christians, we’re empowering families to take charge of their healthcare.”
Unlike healthcare sharing ministries, Presidio provides regulated insurance products, ensuring families receive quality, life-affirming care while protecting their financial security. Presidio's mission is to empower families to take charge of their healthcare and promote a culture of life through unique access to Christ-centered healthcare solutions.
Why families are choosing Presidio’s FortressPlan:
$0 Deductible Options – First-dollar benefits with transparent coinsurance.
Nationwide Network – Freedom to see any doctor.
Maximum Out-of-Pocket Rollover – Lower costs year after year.
24/7 Virtual Care – Access care anytime.
Faith-Aligned Coverage – No funding for abortion or unethical procedures.
“We set out to create a real insurance company, because healthcare sharing ministries are largely unregulated and are not legally required to pay families’ medical bills,” said Bob Hogan, CLO and co-founder of Presidio. “This can cause tremendous financial stress for families. At Presidio, we ensure members receive the care they need while eliminating barriers to care, like high deductibles. Beyond that, we stand out in the industry by providing access to dedicated industry experts who help members navigate complicated healthcare needs. Our approach is uniquely rooted in compassion and dignity, guiding every aspect of our offerings.”
Presidio’s FortressPlan is now available in Texas, with additional states coming soon.
Alongside the health insurance offering, Presidio launched ProlifeProviders.com, a first of its kind pro-life provider search tool that helps connect its members with doctors and medical professionals who uphold the dignity of human life in their approach to care. The site includes more than 4 million U.S. providers, highlights faith-based affiliations, and elevates value-aligned providers to the top of search results based on community support. This empowers members to find doctors, therapists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other healthcare providers who are committed to life-affirming care.
While unapologetically motivated to protect Christian values, Presidio is inclusive, offering policies to persons of any faith (or no faith). By choosing Presidio, members join a community that values the dignity of every person and supports providers who share or respect those values.
Key, distinctive features of Presidio Healthcare include:
Pro-life alignment: No premium dollars support unethical medical procedures, including abortion.
Patient freedom: Members can see doctors of their choice through a broad nationwide network.
Real insurance: Unlike healthcare sharing ministries, Presidio offers regulated, health insurance that is legally obligated to pay medical bills.
Community-oriented care: Presidio connects members with providers who respect their beliefs.
“Our prayer is that Texas is just the first step in the journey to fill this gap in the marketplace,” added Cruz. “We aim to provide options for pro-life Americans across the nation in the years to come.”
