I'm not sure you have any idea how unbelievably expensive healthcare in the US is. I have pretty good insurance, but for my family I pay $7500 per year in premiums, the company kicks in another $22k. A lot of other models look more attractive when faced with this insanity.
- adamredwoods 4y agoI am very familiar with hc costs in the US, and I feel a empathy-based crowdfunding model is disastrous. I believe there was a Black Mirror episode related to their model: from the website: >> If he has been a good community member and has given often, then he will have a high score and a high likelihood others will give to him. If he has a low score then he will most likely not get funded.
- notahacker 4y agoPaying $2k per family member per year for the right to start a crowdfunding campaign if they get sick looks like an even worse deal than paying $30k for actual health insurance for a family though...
- luckylion 4y agoHow large is your family? I'm single and have private health insurance in Germany. I Pay around 5.5k Euros / year. The public option would be around 10k Euros a year (though this would include insurance for family members, the private option does not; private insurance is much better, covers more, and gets you better treatment).
