Religious based health share is not "medical insurance" for income tax purposes, even though it might qualify as "insurance" to meet the ACA mandate.  Your premiums are not tax-deductible.  Technically, you are not paying an insurance premium, you are paying for someone else's medical care, and under the law, you can only deduct medical expense you pay for yourself, your spouse and your dependents.
