100 Million Americans are Burdened by Medical Debt
But it doesn’t need to be that way.
Author of Never Pay the First Bill (And Other Ways to Fight The Healthcare System and Win), Marshall Allen (1972-2024) created an AI tool in the last months before his unexpected death in 2024.
Trained on his book, articles, interviews, talks and two-time Pulitzer Prize nominated investigative reporting on the health care industry, this tool is now made available for free to the millions of Americans who need assitance in trying to navigate their own path through an unfair health care system.

AI Assist Tools For Health Benefits Brokers
Insurance Premiums rise an average of 6-7% YOY.
More educated consumers are less likely to hit their annual deductibles, saving themselves, their employer and the insurer money.
The problem with education programs is that wisdom alone is not enough, we need support and coaching to navigate the choices, claims, and appeals that characterize our health care system.
