OfficeFloss was born out of a passion for politics, commerce, and the on-going healthcare issue. For starters, allow me to express that I believe in capitalism; it brings us innovation, innovation that allows us to enjoy a greater standard of living. But at what point does a capitalistic society realize that an industry has cornered the market by placing our most valuable asset out of financial reach? It seems our personal health has been prepackaged and shipped off to the market next to the bread and milk. I'll say without political conviction that America must return to conservative healthcare plans if we truly wants what's best for society. I even struggle to say "plans," which is what got us into trouble in the first place. 

I believe all Americans should have affordable health care, affordable as in paying off a procedure within a reasonable amount of time. So I agree with Obama wanting to provide this concept to our society; however, it should not be administered through a health insurance plan. As we're finding out, insurance doesn't always give us the peace-of-mind we thought it would, referring to healthcare.  So back to my cleaning business...

I struggle with the mismanagement of health insurance and peoples' perception of how health insurance should serve them. OfficeFloss is my first start-up that makes a small contribution to a healthier society. My primary goal is to alleviate avoidable medical claims that would otherwise increase the risk/cost of group health insurance policies (experience rating). If only by knocking the top couple percentages points off of a policy's risk factor, I will have added much needed conservation to our unhealthy healthcare system. Studies prove hand washing hygiene reduces illness rates by nearly half! Studies also show that a staggering 16 percent of the population wash there hands long enough to remove germs. If we're too lazy to wash our hands, lets wash the next best thing - what we touch!
