I’m tired of health insurance premiums costing so much, the large deductibles, and the denial of care. I hate that in order to reasonably afford healthcare I need to have a job, and then have one that actually cares enough to give me good insurance. Realistically, Universal Healthcare probably isnt going to happen anytime soon in this country (GO AMERICA?) so trying to figure out some other ways to make sure I, and others, can get the care they need.
Im thinking of starting a business but before I dive into that pool, I would love to see if this might be valuable to others. The idea here is a way for people to finance their own care over time through installments, but without interest. Im still working out the particulars but would love it if you could take the survey I linked below and let me know if it would be helpful.

There are lots of savings services out there and you can set up payment plans through most providers. Personally I use Opportun/formerly Digit to set up an emergency savings for my pets and my HSA for my personal health. If my insurance plan didn’t have an HSA.
There’s also carecredit which is a bit slimey but is a health care specific credit card and financing program. If you’re not charging interest, you’d need to charge fee of some kind. Vets require payment at the time of care so if you’re offering financing you’d have to essentially be offering loans and assume that responsibility. If you’re just a savings program, tons of products already exist.
