Hello, I am reviewing my health insurance and I am thinking of changing to HealthCrowd. Is there anybody in the community who made experiences with this service? Thanks a lot for Your help as it is an important decision as You might imagine. Have a nice week-ende!

Same shit as any other "health insurance".
Why?
Is not about how you collect money for an "insurance" is about how are spent.
All insurances are basically a scam. A scare mongering that someday you will get sick and you MUST pay.
It is wrong.
I would better invest in my food, my living habits and keep me healthy as much as I can. All those money paid for an insurance are wasted, throw out of the window.
I will keep buying and accumulating BTC instead of paying a health insurance.
If a rock will fall onto my head, so be it, I will die and that's it. This is life.
I have almost 30 years that I NEVER went to a doctor. Doctors are NOT there to cure you, are there to take your money and keep you alive to pay the bills...
NATURE can cure you, if you LEARN how to use it.

I think society puts this 'angst' into us from the very first beginning. Economically You are absolutely wright saving in btc instead of contributing to another ponzi. Thank You for Your impulse like always.

Question: If you are in a foreign country and need emergency / urgent care, how do you explain to the hospital that they will get paid, but you need to be treated right now without delay?
That's the only thing stopping me from getting rid of medical (not health!) insurance.

Thank You, good point. I tend a bit to Darthen's opinion of accumulating btc instead... let's wait for some more points.
Have a nice week-end

Take in another way...
Ok you are accumulating more BTC. That means you are insuring yourself, because those BTC are anyways appreciating their value in time.
So let's say you have an accident. Yes, life is shity most of the time and you could have these accidents. I do not deny that.
So you need an surgical intervention that must be paid, that's it, is a service like any other.
So you will pay directly from your stashed BTC.
YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS only when is really needed, you are responsible for your own actions.

Thanks for clarifying. I agree with the idea of self-insurance.
My specific question is: You have an accident and you are unconscious or conscious but feeling very weak. How do you explain quickly that you can pay so that they don't send you to the shitty hospital or treat you poorly?

Thanks again! Do You appear on podcasts regularly? We need more hardcore libertarians to push back against the 'angst machine' that's run by our modern commies!

I don't have a podcast. I don't like to appear on podcast and I am too crazy to appear on a podcast 😂😂😂😂.
I have only my substack.
But I was invited on some. Here you can see some links

I remember having heard You once a year ago. Top conversation by the way, clear thinking and a similar background like my family has. We need people like You out there. The idiological fight between collectivism and humanism is real. I really like Your energy and spirit. Thanks for what Your providing - it's reaching far over btc! Greets from Málaga

Glad that you asked the question.
As I said, what stops me is that in an emergency situation, like in case of an accident, the insurance 'communicates' that they will get paid.
Other than that, I feel like by paying for the insurance I am missing the mark by supporting this mostly corrupt medical establishment.

Why are you so afraid to die?
Treat yourself, be more careful what are you doing. Enjoy your life as it would be your last day tomorrow.
Or just die if is so complicated. Death is not the end. It's a new beginning.
I am not afraid to die. I lost my fear long time ago.
If I die I will die happy and I will come back (maybe) in another more advanced form (to fuck even more banksters).
Why are you not just stay hidden in your house because if you get out a rock could fall on your head... Enjoy you life, don't live in fear that someday you will get sick. That FEAR will make you sick.

I currently use them in combination with an HSA account provided by my employer. So far so good! I've been blessed to not have to use them in an emergency scenario but I have used the service for a checkup. It takes a little more work, but I think the flexibility and being able to help others in community with their expenses makes it worth it.

Janet Yellen? Isn't she the granny that tries to convert the US into a money printer and a commie-mmt-paradies?? Let's make Jerome hike some 100 bps more to teach these cronies a lesson
