I’ve witnessed countless patients struggle with a heartbreaking choice: seek medical care or pay for basic necessities. I’ve seen parents delay treating their own health issues to afford their children’s care, and hardworking individuals skip necessary treatments because they couldn’t take time off work. With such experiences in mind, I looked to create a more affordable healthcare solution.
The Real Cost of Healthcare Today
Medical care can vary. Let’s talk about what medical care typically costs:
- Urgent care visits: $150-$500
- Emergency room visits: $1,000-$3,000
- Primary care visits: $100-$200
- Plus missed work time, travel costs, and childcare expenses
These costs force many people to delay or avoid seeking care, often leading to more serious health issues down the road.
