Change in Healthcare
If you know me from my days in the NBA, you're undoubtedly asking yourself what a basketball player has to do with a health insurance platform. I get it, I'd be asking the same question. But healthcare is as much a part of my story as basketball.
When my oldest daughter, Ashlyn, was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, we spent years in and out of hospitals. She passed away at 17, but that time ignited a passion in me to advocate for change and ensure that every individual has access to quality healthcare, regardless of their background or circumstances.
This is a cause that's near and dear to me, and as SureCo's Chief Impact Officer, I’m glad I can honor Ashlyn’s memory by helping other families unlock the quality of care they deserve.

"We ate ramen noodles for months just to afford mom's care."
When I was young, my mother was rear-ended and fractured her hip. Her insurance covered basic treatment but didn't include any of chronic pain treatments, which cost over $20,000 out of pocket. We ate ramen noodles for months just to afford her care. I was 14 and just wanted her to get better. Thankfully, she's healthy now, and I've paid off her medical debt, but no one should have to endure that burden.

"Slammed with out-of-pocket fees as doctors struggled to diagnose me."
In 2020, I fell ill and underwent countless tests and specialist assessments for almost a year. Despite the mounting bills, my medical team couldn't diagnose me. It's shocking my insurance kept charging for ineffective tests instead of ensuring my health. It feels like the system prioritizes billing over patient care, leaving me with massive debt.

"As a single mom, I struggled with medical bills and finally filed for bankruptcy."
At 6, my child was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency, requiring daily shots and frequent specialist visits. Insurance didn't cover costs, leading to thousands in monthly expenses. As a single mother, I struggled with the bills and eventually filed for bankruptcy. Despite this, my efforts helped my child grow to 5'1" instead of 4'7". This showed me the urgent need for affordable healthcare for families.
