The beauty of the Crowd is that it creates a free market by filling the gap between two broken options: Health insurance supposedly "protects" people from big bills (although it often doesn't), by transferring the risk to a third party, it removes any reason to care about price, which is a major reason costs keep climbing. Going uninsured keeps people price conscious, but it leaves them exposed to catastrophic expenses. CrowdHealth combines the two: community support for large, unexpected costs, with members who keep ownership of their own healthcare decisions and the tools to make those decisions well. We believe putting ownership back with the individual is the only way to bring real consumerism, and real cost reduction, to healthcare.

For those of you who signed up recently, welcome to the Crowd! Just curious, how long did the sign up process take?

Its our favorite time of the week: TAKEDOWN TUESDAY! Member paid $500 The community picked up $14,500

The medical industrial complex seems to think that: "But it's not insurance!" Is a dig.
 It’s actually the greatest compliment… because that’s the whole point. 😂 ***merch store with Uninsured tees coming soon

Before you opt into your employers health insurance, know two things: 1) Once you opt in, you can't get out until next years open enrollment. 2) Depending upon how much your employer eats the cost of your insurance, you could save some money with CrowdHealth.

Three things you should definitely do (or not do) when you go to the ER

Our CEO spends 30–40% of his day engaging directly with our customers, listening to their experiences, understanding their needs, gathering feedback, addressing their concerns…and sometimes just eating good food together.

The world is healing. 😂

There's an old saying in business: fast, good, cheap. Pick two. Want it fast and good? It won't be cheap. Want it cheap and fast? Don't expect quality. Healthcare has managed to give us none of the three. It's expensive, your doctor choices are limited by a network, and you wait weeks for someone at an insurance company to approve your care. CrowdHealth breaks the rule. You pay less. Our members have gone to some of the best physicians in the country. You can get your healthcare needs met quickly.

Have people, backed by a community, pay directly at the point of care instead of using health insurance.

Our members often tell us that the best part about Crowd is that you know your money is going direct to another Crowdie to help them pay their health bills.

Largest Bill to date: ~$3M A few pieces of that bill are still being sliced by our negotiating ninjas but it looks like it will be cut down by about 80%. Will wait to share more details of this bill in the future so we don't compromise the negotiations.
