The Unspoken Truth About Health Insurance for Expats: A Cash-Grab for Tech Brots
As foreign nationals, navigating the Byzantine world of health insurance is a frustrating, soul-sucking experience. Enter Feather, a German startup that has somehow managed to raise a whopping €6 million to "help" expats living in Europe. But don’t be fooled – this is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to capitalize on the vulnerability of international workers.
The real joke is that there are already plenty of options available to expats. But, of course, the offer is "fragmented" and "hard to match with individual needs" – a perfect excuse for Feather to swoop in and claim a piece of the action. And let’s be real, the real draw here is the chance to tap into the lucrative market of health insurance for remote workers.
Feather’s CEO, Rob Schumacher, touts his company’s "recommendation tool" as a game-changer, claiming it will help individuals understand what kind of coverage they need. But don’t worry, it’s not like this is some revolutionary new approach – just a fancy name for a online questionnaire that spits out a series of options. Yay.
And what’s with the obsession with "unbiased recommendations"? Are we really supposed to believe that Feather’s algorithm is going to magically conjure up the perfect policy without any influence from their investors? Give me a break.
But hey, at least Feather is honest about their motives. In a refreshingly candid moment, Schumacher admitted that the startup considered giving up on fundraising altogether and focusing on profitability. Good on them for being upfront about their true priorities – it’s not like they’re in this to "make a difference" or anything.
So, what’s next for Feather? Apparently, they’re planning to expand into new markets, because of course they are. And because we all know that’s exactly what Europe needs – more startup "disruption" in the healthcare industry.
All in all, Feather’s fundraising effort is just another example of the toxic culture of tech bros swooping in to "solve" problems they don’t fully understand, and profiting off the desperation of others. Next thing you know, they’ll be coming for our personal data too.
