RE: My name is Brennen Hodge and I'm an entrepreneur on a social mission to fix our failing healthcare system.

This is a phenomenal idea! I am passionate about creating an alternative "healthcare" system, too. I live in the U.S. and I recently found out I cannot get health insurance outside the open enrollment date each year (something like a 4 month window) UNLESS a special event occurs like marriage, moving, getting a new job, etc. It's crazy! And this applies to all U.S. citizens, not just me. The government thinks it has the right to keep me from health insurance.... and yet, they act like they want everyone to have it with their annual health care tax if you opt out of health insurance.

Thanks! Every aspect of health insurance is ludicrous. The fundamental business model of this whole industry is flawed and the only way to fix it is to start fresh with something entirely different that takes advantage of our technological progression.

I agree. I've personally only had health insurance for one year of my adult life. And now that I see how flawed the system is, I don't really want to buy into it anyway. To me an insurance policy is making good lifestyle changes. It just doesn't make sense to eat garbage and make other bad choices and then pay a high price to see a doctor. I'd rather spend the money on quality, fresh food :)
