Dr. Simone Gold, founder and CEO of Gold Care, shed light on how Americans can navigate Medicare, escape the limitations of the traditional healthcare system, and take control of their well-being. This discussion offered crucial insights into how the current system fails patients—and how Gold Care presents a revolutionary alternative.

The Broken Healthcare System: Why Change Is Necessary

Dr. Gold’s career as an emergency physician revealed deep flaws in the American healthcare system. Over her 20+ years of practice in busy emergency rooms across the country, she witnessed firsthand how the system often fails to prioritize patient health. Instead, doctors and hospitals are frequently influenced by insurance companies, financial incentives, and government regulations rather than patient well-being.

The disconnect became even more evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Gold saw how government protocols dictated care that, in many cases, was not in the best interest of the patient. These experiences ignited her mission to build a new, patient-first healthcare system—Gold Care.

Introducing Gold Care: A Patient-Centered Revolution

Gold Care was created to free patients from the constraints of traditional insurance-driven healthcare. Membership offers direct access to healthcare professionals who prioritize patient interests without interference from insurance companies or government mandates.

Key features of Gold Care include:

  • Direct Access to Trusted Providers: Members can schedule appointments with doctors, nurse practitioners, and health advisors who are fully dedicated to their well-being.
  • Transparent, Upfront Pricing: Members pay a flat monthly fee—$99/month for individuals or $199/month for families—with a discounted annual option.
  • Focus on True Health: Providers aim to help patients reduce dependency on medications and improve overall health through personalized care.
  • Comprehensive Support: Access to wellness classes, spiritual counseling, dietitian consultations, and more.

How Does Gold Care Work With Medicare?

For those already enrolled in Medicare, Gold Care does not replace it but acts as a vital supplement. While Medicare may cover treatments and procedures, Gold Care provides unbiased advice, second opinions, and support for navigating the complexities of the system.

Patients can:

  • Receive honest, unbiased medical opinions.
  • Gain insights into treatment options without external influences.
  • Advocate for themselves more effectively within the Medicare system.

Breaking Free From Traditional Insurance

Gold Care offers an option for those under 65 who want to step away from the restrictive insurance model altogether. For catastrophic medical needs, Gold Care partners with Zion HealthShare, a health-sharing community that offers a financial safety net at a fraction of the cost of traditional insurance.

For example:

  • An average family may pay $2,000/month for traditional insurance.
  • A comparable Gold Care + HealthShare plan could cost around $300–$350/month.

This combination allows members to:

  • Access trustworthy healthcare advice from Gold Care.
  • Stay protected against major medical expenses with a health share membership.

A Doctor in Your Pocket—Anywhere, Anytime

One of the most significant benefits of Gold Care is its telemedicine platform, which gives members access to healthcare professionals no matter where they are—even internationally. Whether you’re traveling or living in a remote area, you can consult with trusted providers through a user-friendly virtual platform.

What Happens If You’re Hospitalized?

Gold Care’s mission is to keep members out of the hospital whenever possible. However, if hospitalization is necessary, Gold Care doctors offer guidance and second opinions—helping you make informed decisions about your care and ensuring hospitals follow appropriate, patient-centered practices.

The True Cost of Health Freedom

Gold Care membership costs:

  • $99/month for individuals
  • $199/month for families
  • Annual plans are available at a discount ($1,000/year for individuals and $2,000/year for families).

Additionally, Health Share plans offer affordable alternatives for major medical events—often at a fraction of the cost of traditional insurance.
