Signing up for health insurance is like getting your teeth pulled, doing taxes, stepping in 💩, or getting attacked by your next door neighbors chihuahua. Signing up for CrowdHealth takes 5 minutes and you’ll never have to think about Gold/Silver/Bronze plans, HMOs, PPOs, deductibles, copays, coinsurance, out of network, or premiums ever again. Our members pay month to month, can quit anytime, and don’t have to reenroll every year. Fund humans, not health insurance

You work for whoever pays you. With insurance, your doctor doesn’t work for you. They work for the insurance company. When you pay your doctor directly, your doctor works for you…and you get better care. “The doctor treated me differently in a good way. It felt like it brought back their humanity. They listened to me instead of just staring at an iPad the whole time trying to rush me out.” - Brooks, CrowdHealth member

This was a huge win. There are only three doctors in this member’s state that could do this specific procedure and we were still able to get an incredible price. Please contact us and let us negotiate big healthcare procedures for you. We can find you incredible doctors at reasonable rates. This member paid $500 and submitted the remaining $21500 to the Crowd.

Last night we announced at Austin Bitcoin Club that we have integrated a Lightning wallet into the CrowdHealth app. Starting in early 2024 our Bitcoin Crowd will be able to pay their membership fees, fund each others health expenses, and pay their doctors through the Lightning network. We need supply and demand. Therefore we are actively seeking medical practices that are interested in receiving Bitcoin as a payment method. We believe we can make it worth their while by driving highly sought after, non insurance, traffic to their practices. As we build this database, and as our membership grows over time, we believe that even a small chunk of the $4.3T healthcare economy could serve as a beachhead for hyperbitcoinization in the US and a real alternative for doctors who want to break away from the tyranny of health insurance. We started a new twitter account @crowdhealthbtc which will serve as the new home for our BTC crowd and where we’ll be updating you on our progress. We will have a new website available shortly. For non bitcoiners, your CrowdHealth experience, structure, and awesomeness will not change.

Big announcement tonight.

In our current system, the hospitals own your healthcare information. It’s a barrier to seeing physicians outside of their network. We should be able to request the information, own it, and then ask the hospitals to erase it. Unfortunately, government‘s regulation requires hospitals to hold onto this for years.

We went on a "food desert" adventure. See what we could buy for $2.22. Its a keto vs convenience store vs fast food showdown

🤔🤨Shall we state the obvious?

Injuries and pregnancies continue to lead the crowdfunding requests. This is a function of our member base. Average age is 34 - active and in primary reproductive years.

Healthcare costs for a family of 4 on CrowdHealth*: 2021: $9,000 2022: $8,340 2023: $6,900 2024: $6,900 *(monthly fee + monthly crowdfunding maximum) x 12

Wow…just wow. The food pyramid has taught us that Cheerios are better than eggs, pasta is better than steak. Marketers have taught us that ultra processed food is healthier than food that comes directly from the Earth…the result is that our bodies are being destroyed. We are moved to take action. CrowdHealth members…is there any desire to have access to a doctor that would provide lifestyle medicine services in both individual and group sessions? If so leave a note below or send us a DM

We help our members negotiate their bills then we send them to the Crowd for crowdfunding. Member paid $500 Crowdfunded $7000 Fund humans not health insurance

If we really want to bend the long term healthcare cost curve we must both reduce prices and be more healthy. Doing one without the other is futile.

Our favorite story: We had a member with a miscarriage that had complications requiring medical treatment. We sent out the Crowdfunding request to our members to help with the bills. A member responded: “Miscarriage is a part of my story. I know what this family is going through. I’d like to give more to that family than what you’ve asked.” You would never do this with health insurance. Our biggest differentiator from health insurance is that you are helping each other directly. You are not sending your money to a big insurance company to line executives pockets. You know exactly where your money is going and what it is being used for. Fund humans not health insurance.
