(2:00) Andrew shares his experience with health expenses and the Affordable Care Act. His daughter's condition was dismissed as "medically unnecessary," which was wrong Approximately 200,000 families go bankrupt yearly over medical expenses, despite having insurance. Yet the whole purpose of health insurance is to prevent your family from being in financial distress! The healthcare system is incentivized to reject claims. (12:45) Most people feel like they have no power against the huge health insurance companies. You can push back and get reimbursed, but it can take a lot of effort. Andrew has figured out how to work around the standard health insurance system, yet keep costs down. (16:00) Vinnie asks for more details about CrowdHealth. (21:30) A lot of it is based on negotiation with hospitals and community contributions. His company handles wellness checks, too—not just major issues. Andrew explains in detail the mechanics of how the system works. His goal is to provide options for members. Andrew also follows a low-carb lifestyle and wants to begin a version of CrowdHealth focused on a "ketovore" lifestyle. (52:00) There are parameters to join the "ketovore" group he is planning, but it will benefit those who join. He hopes this will incentivize people to adopt healthy behaviors. CrowdHealth will not fund GLP-1. If you are interested in learning more about CrowdHealth, go to https://joincrowdhealth.com Look for Vinnie's NSNG® VIP Community and sign up for the waitlist!
