A network for Americans who can't afford health insurance

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, launched this recently and looking for early feedback. The problem to solve: In the US, patients who can't afford health insurance are regularly charged the highest prices for healthcare - prices that are deliberately inflated by 2x-4x above market. But theoretically they should be getting the best prices, because they are paying without the expenses and delays of insurance claims. However, insurance contracts are written in a way that prevents anyone outside a network from getting better prices than insurers. The Pocketero solution: An affordable non-insurance network for people who pay out of pocket for healthcare, especially those who can't afford health insurance. Network members get the best prices from network providers. If you have any comments about the design, implementation, business model, etc. - please share your thoughts!

  Pornpen.ai – AI-Generated Porn▲711

  Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results. For comments/suggestions/feedback please visit…
