I confess I didn’t watch the entire video but I’m sure it’s worth a look if you’re fed up with the U.S. health insurance situation. For instance, JP says one of every five health insurance claims is rejected by insurerers right off the bat. Appealling that rejection is a major pain in the butt, so is often not persued.
One of the options JP considered was simply not having health insurance. As a man with a wife and dependent children, that is a scary option. He points out that medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in the U.S., and a large majority of those bankrupted have health insurance! JP has opted for a “health share” plan. Many of us have employer provided medical insurance, which helps soften the financial blow. Self-employed folks are well advised to research health share plans.
