I was so excited to see this. Health care and especially health insurance really sucks in the US, but Crowd Health is making the experience a little bit better.
They now have a really cheap plan. It's called the "Black Swan" plan, and it's very new. You have a deductible of $15,000, but for healthy people who need a backstop in case of rare health events, it would be perfect. Technically, it's not a deductible because technically, it's not truly health insurance.
Use my code TES8CR for a huge discount on the first 3 months of your plan.
They also have their main plan, where your deductible is $500, but of course the monthly cost is much higher. I'm so glad that options like this exist, because the actual health insurance options out there are an absolute misery.
Also if you go to the FAQ (https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/resources/faq) they have a "Still have questions?" link, where you can set up a phone call with them, and ask for details. I found them to be really professional and helpful. They're used to answer all the questions that come up with a new and different option like this.

i had a recent job onboarding experience with the "benefits specialist" over the phone; to her recollection, i was the first one to ever say "i want zero benefits"
Crowdhealth worked well for a pregnancy and nation in my tribe
P.S. interesting tidbit here: "The first element generally is held to be tri- "three," and the whole to represent a PIE indication of "tripartite division" (de Vaan)." https://www.etymonline.com/word/tribe

I’ve got health insurance thru my employer but I’ve heard good things!

Yeah, for anyone who's self-employed, this could be a real godsend.
A lot of people have to get over a lot of hangups about it (i.e. it's not "real insurance").
But for me, the experience with "real insurance" has been so miserable that I'm willing to take a chance.

Theresa from @PlebLab told me about CrowdHealth. Looks very interesting. Added myself to the CrowdHealth International Interest List.
