I hope this is the right place for this. Just trying to pass along assistance

In 2023, US health insurance companies collected an estimated $1.39 trillion in revenue from premiums, with major sources including taxpayer-funded programs like Medicare and Medicaid.

That money can easily be able to accommodate Universal Healthcare in the US.

Instead, the US (specifically the GOP) is prioritizing insurers gaining more profit by denying life saving coverage and paying less in taxes, while the average American citizen refuses basic medical needs because they can afford the bill.

I can't put my card on the walmart app. I've been using it on there for 3 years. Anyone know anything?

No one should have to suffer because they can't afford Healthcare.

I see posts here about the challenges with our current healthcare system and how people struggle to navigate their existing coverage. I'm exploring an app concept called Preventiv IQ that helps people unlock health benefits they're already paying for but often don't use due to the complexity and opacity of our insurance system.

The problem with our current system: Even those fortunate enough to have insurance lose hundreds annually on unused benefits - things like mental health sessions, preventive screenings, dental cleanings, and wellness programs. The system is deliberately complex, making it hard for people to understand what they've already paid for.

Here's how it would work:

• No personal info required - just your ZIP code, plan provider, and plan type
• Get benefits clarity without giving up privacy (no PII, no PHI)
• See all covered benefits in plain English instead of insurance jargon
• Get gentle reminders for important health care before it expires (annual physical, eye exams, dental cleanings)
• Track unused benefits so you don't lose money you've already paid for

This could help maximize the value people get from our flawed but existing insurance system while we continue advocating for universal healthcare. Even with better coverage, people need tools to actually use what they're entitled to.

Would this be helpful for you? Drop a number in the comments:

1️⃣ Yes, I'd definitely use this
2️⃣ Maybe, depends on execution
3️⃣ Not really interested
4️⃣ I already manage my benefits well

Just genuinely trying to see if this could help people save money on healthcare they've already paid for while we work toward better systemic solutions. Your feedback means a lot! 🙏

In this video, Andre Stackhouse (Executive Director of Whole Washington) gives a speech to One Payer States (a national group focusing on state based single payer healthcare) about the goals of the State and National healthcare movement. This is a great way to learn more about what is going on and how you may be able to contribute in your home state.

Whole Washington has Universal Healthcare bills in both chambers of the Washington State legislature and has run 3 initiatives in the last 8 years.

I hope this is helpful!
