Show HN: A network for Americans who can't afford health insurance Hey HN, launched this recently and looking for early feedback. The problem to solve: In the US, patients who can't afford health insurance are regularly charged the highest prices for healthcare - prices that are deliberately inflated by 2x-4x above market. But theoretically they should be getting the best prices, because they are paying without the expenses and delays of insurance claims. However, insurance contracts are written in a way that prevents anyone outside a network from getting better prices than insurers. The Pocketero solution: An affordable non-insurance network for people who pay out of pocket for healthcare, especially those who can't afford health insurance. Network members get the best prices from network providers. If you have any comments about the design, implementation, business model, etc. - please share your thoughts! https://ift.tt/Aiu6Npq August 17, 2022 at 02:41AM
Show HN: StreetComplete, an OpenStreetMap Editor for Humans StreetComplete is an OpenStreetMap[0] editor directed at people who want to contribute and want to do this using their smartphone, without learning how to edit things[1]. It is available as an Android application. It is intended to be used as one walks, with quests appearing as markers on the map. Selecting a marker allows one to answer a simple question. The answer will be added to the OpenStreetMap database, with app handling selecting objects for editing, transforming answer into OSM tags and making edits. OpenStreetMap account is needed to apply edits, but it is possible to start without it, make some edits and login/register later. Note: I am not the main author, but I am one of the active contributors. Github page is at https://ift.tt/2g8lasH and https://ift.tt/3nR9PzS shows what was recently released.
