Newsflash….

1. It’s already too expensive.
2. Buckle up, it’s going to continue to get more expensive.
3. You are basically (functionally) uninsured if you pay an exorbitant amount of money each month in premium, and then have to shoulder a $5000-$15,000 “high deductible plan.”

4. You’ll most likely continue purchasing it the way it is even though you hate it.

There are MUCH better, and MUCH more economical ways to provide medical protection for yourself, your family and/or your employees.

Be proactive, save yourself the heartache and frustration when that next increase inevitably comes.

PS.. premiums for 2026 are projected to be an all time high increase. 20%+ on average.

Can you afford to ignore the alternative options available to you?

💡 Did you know? The average U.S. family health insurance premium has skyrocketed from $6,000 in 2000 to over $25,000 in 2024. That’s a 297% increase—triple the rate of inflation. Who benefits most? Health insurance companies.

For years, insurers have told us healthcare is “too complicated” and “too important to leave their plan.” The truth? They don’t want you to see how much you’ve been overpaying.

👉 The good news: 2026 brings new options for families.
✅ Catastrophic coverage is now available on the healthcare exchange (not just for the under-30 crowd).
✅ Direct Primary Care (DPC) covers your everyday needs with affordable, transparent pricing.
✅ BOTH can be funded pre-tax with an HSA.
✅ Plus, health shares and supplemental plans can pair with DPC for even more protection.

It’s time to rethink the old insurance playbook. Your family deserves better.

Great article by a fellow DPC doc…

“DPC is what happens when doctors refuse to keep participating in a system that profits from burnout — theirs and yours”

Dr. Misra explains that while the Big Beautiful Bill promised to Make America Healthy Again, Direct Primary Care can actually deliver.
