Why are you paying for insurance if you’re still paying out of pocket for everything? Christopher Aguwa, CEO of ProviderNow, breaks down the American healthcare crisis on Mornings with Mero (Hot 97) — and reveals how his platform lets you access doctors, mental health services, weight loss programs, pharmacy savings, and more without insurance, at 40–60% lower costs.
In this episode:
Why 90% of Americans never hit their deductible — and 75% never even hit 50% of it
The difference between health insurance and actual healthcare (they’re not the same thing)
How rising premiums, deductibles, and disappearing subsidies are leaving tens of millions without coverage
What ProviderNow is: a $0-membership, price-transparent platform with thousands of licensed doctors nationwide
Services available: urgent primary care, mental health, weight loss with care coaching, hair loss, hormonal replacement therapy, sleep support, pharmacy savings, and more
How their AI assistant “Polly” helps you navigate the platform (without giving clinical advice)
A real-life example: Chris got a $400 X-ray billed through insurance — but paid $125 cash instead
