All Things Healthcare with Stasha

The American citizen spends an average of $10,000 on health insurance every year*.

In many cases, that’s not only expensive. It’s also ineffective. There’s a big crisis in the traditional healthcare system** and it’s certainly impacting your own health. If you’re tired of paying more and more for less access to health professionals***, I know exactly how you feel.

In this blog, you’ll find updated analysis, insights, and practical tips to improve your health and well-being.
