In today’s episode, I’m first sharing a short personal update on my own experience after officially ditching traditional health insurance earlier this year — and then revisiting one of my favorite past conversations with CrowdHealth founder, Andy Schoonover.

If you’ve ever wondered how crowd-based healthcare actually works, what happens when something big comes up, or how it compares to the insurance system most of us are used to, this episode gives you a clear, honest look.

We discuss:

  • How CrowdHealth works and why it's built so differently
  • The flaws of traditional health insurance that keep you bound 
  • What makes crowd-funding such a smart and freeing alternative to standard health insurance
  • Financial savings and comparisons
  • Why this approach puts real care and decision-making back into your hands
