@jasonkoebler @codinghorror I’ve thought long and hard about how to fix healthcare in the US. If I was ever in a position to I’d start a nonprofit health insurance company.

All of the staff would be volunteer based but you wouldn’t need much staff because every claim would be blanket approved, save a volunteer medical review board for elected procedures.

You’d pay for it by not having shareholders sucking the profits off the top and not needing a large staff

@abemassry @jasonkoebler love everything about this. I want us to keep thinking about ways we can work towards meeting people's essential needs, here, and everywhere. How do you even pursue happiness when you can't afford healthcare, housing, education...
