35. Why I Cancelled My Health Insurance (And What I Did Instead)

from The Female Blueprint · host Dr. Courtney Johnson

Why I cancelled my health insurance and what I chose instead!In this week's solo episode, I'm sharing my personal decision to leave traditional health insurance and move to a health sharing plan. This isn't about telling anyone what to do of course (you're an adult, make your own decisions!) but it's about opening up the conversation around healthcare costs, cash-pay medicine, and the alternatives that many people don't realize exist.We'll talk about:The real cost of monthly premiumsWhy insurance doesn't always mean full coverageCash pricing and how to ask for discountsHigh-yield savings strategies as an alternativeWhat health sharing plans are and how they workWhy my physical therapy clinic does not accept insuranceWhy many women prefer direct-pay careImportant note: Of course, there are unforeseen events like cancer, chronic conditions, or life-saving medications where insurance coverage can be critical. This episode is about routine care and preventative health, and even in those situations, many people don't realize cash-pay discounts and alternative payment options still exist. This is simply about exploring all your options.Healthcare doesn't have to be one-size-fits-all. There are options, and it's okay to explore them.This episode is simply my experience and what works best for my family and my business.COME SAY HI TO ME 🔗 Instagram: @thefemaleahtletedocWebsite: threesixtywellness.coBook a Consult: www.threesixtywellness.co/free-pelvic-floor-consultationSubscribe to The Female Blueprint Podcast for real conversations about women's health, pelvic floor, wellness, and designing a life on your own terms.👇 Let me know in the comments — have you ever considered alternatives to traditional health insurance?
