Thursday, woo hoo!

As I prep for Fridays list of “cool things to do this weekend” (which have been KILLING it), I wanted to give you a chance to share anything that you’ve heard of that you think I should add to the list.

If you’ve seen anything, or know of anything interesting to watch, read, listen to, or do for this weekend, shoot it my way! I’ll make sure to credit you 😬

See you tomorrow!

The Amish Health Care System, a deep dive

For all the people hounding me for a super-deep dive on how the Amish healthcare system works, here ya go.

For reals tho - This. Is. FASCINATING.

Amish people spend only a fifth as much as you do on health care, and their health is fine. What can we learn from them?
the Amish community bargains collectively with providers to keep prices low.
the Amish are honorable customers.
Amish don’t go to the doctor for little things.
the Amish never sue doctors.
the Amish don’t make a profit.
the Amish don’t have administrative expenses.
the Amish feel pressure to avoid taking risks with their health.
for the same reason, Amish try not to overspend on health care.

“I think we should be very excited about the new future,” ~Ray Dalio

I know it’s probably pretty easy to be optimistic when you’re a BILLIONAIRE, but I’ve always liked Mr. Dalio’s insights & approach to life.

I agree with him as well. I’m looking forward to all the “new normals” that will come out of this situation.
