Fintech takes aim at a $400B healthcare puzzle

"Now Ben David, a partner with Israel-based Viola Ventures, is part of a crop of VC investors betting on a fintech solution that allows patients to pay for healthcare in small increments over months—or even years. That approach could make the financial burden of large medical bills more manageable, while helping doctors and hospitals increase their payment collection rates.

Ben David led Viola's incubation and a $5 million seed investment in PayZen, a startup that works with healthcare systems to offer patients zero-interest, fee-free payment plans akin to the buy-now, pay-later options provided by companies like Affirm and Klarna."

Ha! Yeah, let's *not* try to fix the problem. Instead, let's try to find ways to disrupt the system so that more problems arise and, meanwhile, profit off the disruption. We'll be heroes! And rich! Woohoo!
