The Family Risk Account: A Practical Path to Replacing Insurance with Ownership

What if the problem isn't how we use insurance... but that we rely on it at all?Every year, families spend thousands on healthcare and insurance-yet still face confusion, denial, and financial stress when it matters most.We're told it's too complex to fix. Too big to change. Too broken to understand.This book challenges that idea.
