The government and insurance companies have jacked prices, increased complexity, and made insurance almost unusable. You send your money to a black hole and never see it again. Then, when you get hurt you have to send more money. Now you have an alternative: CrowdHealth. It’s totally different from insurance. Instead of sending your hard earned money to an insurance company, you hold your money in an account CrowdHealth helps you set up when you join. You can even convert dollars in that account into Bitcoin. When someone in the community has a health need, you help them out directly and if there is Bitcoin or $ left over in your account when you leave, you take it with you. https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/natalie ✔️ With iTrustCapital you can invest in crypto without worrying about taxes or fees, through a tax-sheltered individual retirement account -- which means all your crypto trading is tax-free and can even grow tax-free over time.
