Uninsured by Choice

What if you could protect yourself from a six figure medical bill without traditional health insurance?

In this episode of Uninsured by Choice, Dan sits down with Holly Patino, founder of HealthShare101, to break down the world of medical cost sharing.

They unpack how health sharing works, the real differences between major organizations, and what most people miss in the member guidelines. From caps and limitations to waiting periods and pre existing conditions, Holly explains what you need to know before you join.

They also discuss faith based and non religious healthshare options, inclusivity, ACA considerations, and how to determine whether a healthshare is actually a good fit for your situation.

If you are exploring alternatives to traditional health insurance, this episode gives you the clarity and confidence to make an informed decision.

What if you could see your doctor without insurance, without surprise bills, and without 10-minute rushed visits?

In this episode of Uninsured by Choice, Dan sits down with Dr. Justin Voris, board-certified family medicine physician and founder of Core Health Direct Primary Care in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Dr. Voris explains how Direct Primary Care (DPC) is restoring the doctor–patient relationship by removing insurance from routine primary care altogether. Instead of billing codes and gatekeepers, patients pay a simple monthly membership for transparent pricing, longer appointments, and direct access to their physician.

You’ll hear:

• How DPC works and who it’s for
• Why traditional insurance often drives up costs
• A real example of a $500 lab bill reduced to around $60
• How employers can lower healthcare costs while improving employee access
• Why more physicians are leaving corporate medicine for this model
  

If you’ve ever felt rushed, overcharged, or stuck navigating the insurance maze, this conversation will open your eyes to a simpler way forward.
