They literally don't even have a product.
Then don't buy it.

The product is you not going broke in case you break your arm.
Doesn't mean that the american healthcare system is good, it's a disaster. But claiming insurance is a bad thing is moronic aswell. These are the people that want "free healthcare" like most oft europe, not realizing that the "free" part is because wie habe (somewhat) mandatory health insurance.
...what? Insurance companies are not a "barrier" between doctors and patients. What, do you think some sort of insurance gremlin will manifest out of the ground and kick you in the nuts if you try to visit a doctor while uninsured? Doctors don't care whether you're insured or not, as long as they get paid. Insurance companies exist to soften the blow of expensive treatment. The product is not getting completely fucked over if you get very unlucky, just like with any other insurance (life insurance, car insurance, whatever). It's kind of like bitcoin mining pools, but the other way around. Now, is mandatory health insurance justified? That's a different discussion.
