E270. Our Health Care System Is Insane - Andy Schoonover

Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy

Andy Schoonover, founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, sits down with Bridget to discuss our broken health care system and the innovative way CrowdHealth working to revolutionize the health care industry. They cover how Andy got into the health care field, what he started noticing, the softening of the public due to all the conveniences in life, the 50 year trend of relieving ourselves of personal responsibility, how our system is built on the healthy subsidizing the unhealthy, why you tend to be more generous to others if you have agency and personal responsibility, and the freedom that CrowdHealth offers people. He breaks down how CrowdHealth works, the hesitance to break away from health insurance, the results he's seen, how paying hospital bills in cash can lead to a 60% discounted rate, who their target demographic is, and why health insurance is riskier than CrowdHealth.

Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn’t conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all. By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she’ll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.
