I spoke with more than 50 insurance experts, patients, lawyers, physicians and consumer advocates about building a tool anyone could use to navigate insurance appeals. Nearly everyone said the same thing: Great idea. But almost impossible to do.
Hell, the for-profit model is so bad that it’s even causing nurses and doctors to quit because the hospital shareholders (why the hell is that allowed to be a thing) are pushing all the resources past their breaking point to get as many people in and out as possible with 0 care about the quality of care provided.
If you’re in the US, look up the “Direct Primary Care” model. It’s basically subscribing via direct payment to a private doctors practice to haveunlimited access to quality care. Started around the pandemic so there’s still not a whole lot of them out there, but I’m gonna do my damnedest to tell literally everyone of any good alternative to our shitty, shitty system.
