Health Assurance
Proactive, measurement-based healthcare with private choice, transparent prices, and protection from medical ruin.
The Belief
People need more than an insurance card. They need timely primary care, clear prices, prevention, measurement, and protection from catastrophic costs.
The Problem
American healthcare often waits until people are sick, hides prices, buries patients in billing complexity, and lets consolidation raise costs without improving care.
The Principle
Routine care should be simple and relationship-based. Catastrophic risk should not bankrupt a family. Prices and outcomes should be visible enough to compare.
What We Support
- Direct primary care and community clinic pilots.
- Transparent prices for common services and drugs.
- Universal catastrophic protection models worth serious study.
- Routine health dashboards for blood pressure, metabolic health, mental health, dental health, and follow-up.
- More clinicians, scopes of practice, and care capacity where evidence supports it.
What We Oppose
- Hospital monopoly power.
- Surprise billing and unreadable medical prices.
- Insurance complexity that blocks care without adding value.
- Pretending access exists when appointments are unavailable.
