I use @npub1q7xq...90jl and keep my family healthy through diet and lifestyle. The coverage is just there for catastrophes. We pay $450/month for four of us and get some of that back into our Fold account most months when the crowd doesn’t have major health events. Averaging about $3600/year in total healthcare expense.
