The govt has done such horrific damage to the healthcare and insurance industries that there is an entirely alternative industry of “unapproved” medical professionals and “insurance as crowd funding” being built from the ground up simply to escape the leviathan of insurance/establishment insanity.
We won’t fix the idiocy it created, but in a sly roundabout way we will get honest, sensible care and disaster protection by avoiding their system altogether.
I have left it and will never look back. It’s little different than fiat vs bitcoin in my mind. Going back is so idiotic that I chuckle in horror at the thought of even entertaining it.

Lmao I posted the wrong video 😂
It was one about a patient charged over $1000 with insurance and had a $270 copay, when the “no insurance price” of the very same work was only $44.
Now I can’t find it and am wondering if I even remembered to save it. But this video just shows they are doing the same thing to energy provision… which is a terrible omen for our future unless we find a solution to that as well.
I have a friend who is two Bitcoin memes - selling couches for Bitcoin and the current scenario you're speaking of.
Was given a price for some health events, then realized he hadn't given them his insurance card. Once he did, his cost went UP. More people need to realize how much of a scam insurance is.
Dang
As a person from Europe the health care industry in the US makes the impression as if it was designed to scare people away from any free market health care
I'd like to know how many KWH she used that month
Nevermind, I looked at it through a mirror. Its from LAST December, and they used 2636 KWH, an average of 3500 watts continuously over the month. That's around than $0.07 per KWH which is dirt cheap. I pay around $0.13. All the other fees are excessive though.
Yep, 3.5 kwh every single hour over a month is almost a small factory consumption. I guess they are using electric heaters, and have set the thermostats to a high temperature threshold (or a btc mining facility...) They should address that point first.
Anyhow, the subsidy fee is insane.
nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev, you guys on Crowd Health?
Yup. For like 4 or 5 years now probably and the birth of both children.
I think I’m going to finally do that for my fam in 2026. Health insurance is such a racket. You have a referral code for Crowd Health yet? I don’t think I’ve ever heard you use them as a sponsor on the podcast. If not, I’ll use Marty’s or Saif’s.
I think I have a referral though that I just forget to share, lol.
Yup found it:
