About this episode
259: If you’ve ever gotten a surprise medical bill, you need to stop everything and listen to my interview with Andy Schoonover. He founded CrowdHealth, a company that’s taking a crowdfunding approach to healthcare - that means you pay into a community instead of giving your money to a big corporation, and that fund helps cover your medical costs upfront (so no expensive bills down the line). And it ends up being way cheaper than health insurance. If you’ve ever been frustrated with your insurance, you’re going to want to hear this.
