Stay Off My Operating Table® Podcast with Dr. Philip Ovadia

What if paying cash for medical care could cost half as much as using insurance? That’s exactly what Andy Schoonover, founder of CrowdHealth, discovered—and it's what inspired him to build a better way.

In this episode, Schoonover reveals how CrowdHealth has helped over 10,000 members ditch traditional insurance and instead join a community that funds each other’s medical needs. From negotiating a $1 million emergency down to $200,000, to incentivizing metabolic health with discounts for members who stay well, CrowdHealth is flipping the healthcare model on its head.

We explore how the platform avoids networks and red tape, slashes costs to around 130% of Medicare rates (compared to insurers’ 250–300%), and fosters a mindset shift—members don’t want to “screw the crowd.”

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the insurance maze, this conversation is for you.
