Why We Believe in Health Socialism
When you live with a complex chronic condition in a country without universal healthcare, every doctor visit is a financial calculation. Every specialist referral is a choice between your health and your rent. Every "helpful" suggestion to "just try this supplement" is another $40 you might not have.

And the sicker you are, the less you can work. The less you can work, the less insurance you have. The less insurance you have, the sicker you get. It's a cycle that punishes the people who need help most.

We built GeneClue to break that cycle.


The Reality of Being a Medical Zebra
If you're managing POTS, hEDS, MCAS, autoimmune conditions, or any complex multi-system illness, you know this reality:

Your body requires more. More supplements. More careful meal planning. More rest. More specialists. More tests. More time off work. More explanations. More advocacy. More energy just to survive a normal day.

And all of that costs money. Money you might not have because your condition makes it harder to work full-time. Money you're spending on medical care instead of building savings. Money that disappears into copays and supplements and tests insurance won't cover.

The people who need the most support often have the least resources to access it.

This isn't fair. And we refuse to make it worse.

Why GeneClue Works Differently
We don't believe in pricing people out of understanding their own bodies. We don't believe in building a platform that only serves people who can afford it. We don't believe profit should come before people.

That's why we created the Zebra Pledge — a commitment to make GeneClue accessible to everyone, regardless of ability to pay.


Who Gets Extra Support
Homeless Users (13+): Full AI Personal Health Expert — free. If you're surviving on the street, you need real-time guidance, not another manual tracking app. You get everything.

Verified Low-Income Users: Reduced rates — $7, $11, or $21 per month depending on your plan. Still affordable. Still full access.

Users with Extraordinarily High Pathway Burden: Free care coordination. Group coaching. Live Q&A access. The sicker you are, the more support you receive — not less.

This is Health Socialism: The people who need it most get it most. No apologies.

How Fortunate Users Can Help
If you can easily afford GeneClue, consider paying it forward.

For an extra $17/month, you can sponsor another user's access — someone who couldn't afford it otherwise. No tax write-off. No public recognition unless you want it. Just quiet, direct support for another zebra trying to survive.

This isn't charity. This is solidarity.

You're not giving out of pity. You're giving because you know what it's like — or you know someone who does. You're giving because zebras take care of zebras. You're giving because no one should have to choose between understanding their body and paying rent.

Why This Matters
In the United States, we don't have universal healthcare. We don't have a safety net that catches people when chronic illness makes working impossible. We don't have a system that believes complex conditions are real

So we're building one ourselves.

GeneClue isn't just a health platform. It's a community. It's a movement. It's proof that we can take care of each other when the system won't.

Every person who sponsors another user is saying: Your health matters. You matter. You deserve access.And every person who receives sponsored access knows: You're not alone. Your community has your back.


Join the Movement
Whether you're here because you need support or because you can give it, you're part of something bigger. You're part of a community that refuses to let anyone fall through the cracks.

This is the Zebra Pledge. This is how we survive — together.
