If you've ever felt trapped by the traditional health insurance system—high premiums, endless bureaucracy, and the frustration of fighting for coverage—you'll want to hear this.

In this episode, I sit down with Andy Schoonover, founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, a community-powered alternative to health insurance that uses crowdfunding to pay medical bills directly. I recently became a CrowdHealth member myself and, for the first time in my adult life, happily don't have health insurance anymore.

Andy breaks down exactly how CrowdHealth works, why he built it, and what makes it different from anything else out there. We talk about:

• Why paying doctors directly creates better healthcare
• How emergencies, pregnancies, and even cancer treatments are handled
• What happens when bills reach hundreds of thousands of dollars
• Whether preventative care like acupuncture is supported
• How CrowdHealth members are incentivized to stay healthy
• And what the future of healthcare could look like if people took power back from insurance companies

Andy Schoonover is founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, a community-powered alternative to health insurance that provides a revolutionary way of paying for healthcare bills through crowdfunding. Schoonover was previously CEO of VRI, a healthcare technology company focused on monitoring patients with chronic conditions out of their homes. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia and Stanford University's Graduate School of Business.
