The average US family health insurance premium has increased from $6,000 in 2000 to $21,000 in 2022. That’s a 249% increase, or 5.8% per year, more than double inflation.
The biggest beneficiaries of this massive increase in costs: health insurance companies. UnitedHealth (largest US insurer) is up 4,120% since 2000 vs. 340% gain for the S&P 500.

Sesame launched to connect patients to in-person and virtual care using a direct-pay model. The startup built its solution to help uninsured or underinsured patients find affordable, quality care. It hopes to expand access to high-deductible health plan consumers.
We’re honoring 15 companies around the U.S. that are trying to change the world by changing the healthcare industry. One key theme from our fifth annual Fierce 15 special can be summed up in one word. Disruption. Let's dive in.🧵 #BeFierce #FierceHealth15

Non-stop warnings by public health officials about variants is irresponsible. The fact is: We have seen hundreds of variants and none have ever evaded the power of vaccines to prevent death or hospitalization from Covid-19. Let's stop dangling variant fear nypost.com/2021/05/21/risk-o…
