My wife and I have been CrowdHealth members since yesterday! Here’s a post about how we came to that decision!

Whoa. So interesting. I haven't had traditional insurance for years. Does CrowdHealth help you get access to treatments like acupuncture, craniosacral and other preventative care?

you’re paying out of pocket for holistic preventative care as you would with health insurance. crowdhealth covers you for emergency health events. i recommend it to basically anyone and everyone who can qualify.

Choosing a different path with healthcare takes more courage than people admit, especially when the default system feels impossible to navigate. The transparency piece alone changes how people relate to care because cost stops being a mystery hanging over every decision. What stood out is the willingness to actually run the numbers instead of accepting what’s been normalized for years. For anyone self-employed, these kinds of experiments are becoming less fringe and more practical survival strategy. Curious to see how your long-term data shapes the conversation as more people start questioning the model they’ve always assumed was the only option.
