Did you know that if someone close to you can't get healthcare, it could actually impact your health? Yeah. Healthcare isn't an "us vs. them," thing, it's "we." Oh, and before you argue finances, we've got that covered too. (Hint: it's probably not what you think, unless you're also a healthcare nerd like us...in which case, hi, friend!)

We're not doctors, so we're not your doctors. We're not lawyers, so we're not your lawyers. If you need medical or legal advice, you should find someone legit (aka, credentialed). We want to help you, but uh, we're not your girlies for that.

Why do two thirty-somethings think they're qualified to talk about navigating healthcare? Well, a combined 30-ish years of experience in the industry, for one. Oh, and because we spent our childhoods in different hospitals – Allison as a doctor's daughter, and AJ as a child with a heart condition. Come hang out with us. We promise you'll learn something.
