We have spoken to both sides of the aisle: We explained our system to @RonWyden (D) at the Bitcoin Commons in Austin: "Incredible. More people should be doing this." There were about 20 witnesses. Our CEO had a phone call with @chiproytx (R): "I love this model" We even used

True story. We’re not perfect, but we’ve built an incredible culture around genuinely loving our Crowdies.
Our CEO asked our team on our company wide meeting: "If Google, or anybody else that has way more money than us, started competing with CrowdHealth, why would customers still choose us?" One of our teammates answered: "We legit love our customers."

Healthcare should be deflationary
Our average cost per month for CrowdHealth hit its lowest EVER in 2025!!! $140.42/month for singles <55 (down 13% vs '24) $225.83/month for singles 55+ (down 17% vs '24) $476.25/month for families of 4 (down 11% vs '24) If you are looking for an affordable alternative to health

Your insurance company with revenues of billions / month wants you continue to pay them $700/month for a $8000 deductible just so you can get your MRI at health system X for the “discounted rate” of $2500 rather than direct you to a private imaging center where the same MRI will
Even Theo Von understands the importance of price signals in health care. But the problem is more that consumers need to be incentivized to price shop. Ergo : Health Savings Accounts. Nobody cares more about your money than you - your insurance company certainly doesn’t.

We messed up. Typically as CEO I would take full responsibility. In this case, it's totally 100% my team's fault. Blame them, not me.
WE'RE SORRY When we committed to crowdfunding healthcare, we thought we were doing something simple: helping you take control of your medical expenses. We didn't anticipate the chaos it would cause: questioning decades of insurance industry practices, challenging your

Just talked to one of our members. He was given a death sentence by his doctors. No chance of survival. He is now cancer free. Blessed to be running a company that can help people get through the hard times.

My wife and I went to a marriage retreat over the weekend. We took home 🥇 in the putt putt tourney. Couples need to make intentional time to play together.

I've cried twice over the last week over things related to CrowdHealth. The first was retelling a story on a podcast about how @BitcoinNurse loved one of our little members of Crowd after an accident, and this is the second. I have never met these people. They are 4 of 15,000 but
It’s with very heavy hearts we announce the loss of one of our fellow Crowdies. Nick Spera passed away unexpectedly last week. He leaves behind a beautiful family including his wife Alexandra. Over their six years of marriage, they created a beautiful family and welcomed two

I haven't had insurance in the US for 2.5 years. I joined @JoinCrowdHealth myself for a year and then added my wife and daughter 1.5 years ago. The model is so simple it makes you question the entire existing system I'm very impressed and its actually beautiful seeing

The IRS cashed my check for taxes. Apparently the IRS is considered "essential" workers.

We will change healthcare by loving our members well. Being there when they need us. I'm truly honored to be able to lead an organization that can serve these families. While I try to not play favorites...Judah is my favorite CrowdHealth member. 🧡
When the Jacob family learned their baby Judah would be born with Down syndrome, the pile of medical bills related to their NICU stay and heart surgery soon loomed over their growing family. But instead of battling the system alone, they turned to CrowdHealth. With the Crowd

We're at #4 (re: COVID-era premium subsidy): 1. Force insurance to cover almost everything. 2. Force the young and healthy to pay for others. 3. Force taxpayers to pay for the low-income. 4. Force taxpayers to pay for the higher-income. 5. Force taxpayers to pay for all.

I was originally going to write a book called Fiat Medicine with Matt Lysiak and distributed by Saifedean's publishing house. My part got edited out. It was too @JoinCrowdHealth focused. I couldn't help myself because I built a company I thought was the perfect model on which we
Agreed. Our view is that free markets, if allowed, will pick up the pieces. No longer will you need $1B hospitals. You'll do your outpatient surgeries at surgery centers, births at home or a birthing center, inpatient surgeries at specialized facilities (heart hospitals, etc.),

If you are looking for healthcare for next year, please consider joining us! It really is a better model. One that puts patients first, drives market efficiencies, and reestablishes the doctor patient relationship without middlemen.
While health insurance prices are skyrocketing, healthcare costs for CrowdHealth members continue to decline. August Update Over the 12 months, members have paid (on average): Single: $1,730 ($144.17/month) Single 55+: $2,815 ($234.58/month)

Husband tip: pick up your phone when your wife calls regardless of what you are doing, or where you are at. She is the most important person in your world. Show her that. I've met billionaires twice. On one of those occasions, my wife called in the middle of the conversation.
