I believe the first step would be to drop all msm insurance through work. Get totally off their health insurance. Instead put money to monthly fees direct with these alternative providers.
Direct primary care is the way to go, agreed. However, this model disproportionately favors those with more disposable income (though for me it's about equal to the premiums I pay for traditional health insurance through my work.) I would pay less for lab work and xrays, etc. through discounts that DPC negotiates, but I don't know what I'd do if I had to be hospitalized.
As a nurse, I agree with your assessment. "Health"care failed us miserably (and criminally, in my opinion.)

We recently did exactly this - dropped our "healthcare" insurance altogether.
I'm 60, my RN wife is 55. Both in reasonably good health. I haven't been to see a doctor since January of 2020.
Makes no damn sense to be spending several hundred dollars per month on nothing.
Wondering if, when the time comes, you will be denied enrollment in Medicare, as a result of making the pureblood choice?
I get calls every day trying to sign me up. Most of them get a nasty piece of my mind on the way to being told GFOH.
Yes. Plus there's a good chance they'll harm or kill you anyway if you get into one of these so called hospitals.
I would never ever subject myself to the tender mercies of those bastards. Prefer to die instead.
Agree 💯
