The startup helps seniors choose Medicare health plans analyzing doctors, hospitals, and prescription drug coverage. Unlike many other Medicare insurance brokers, Chapter claims to prioritize client needs over insurer profits.

Naraya, the VC firm founded by Vice President J.D. Vance, led Chapter’s Series A round in 2020. Peter Thiel, who also invested in the company, assumed Vance’s board seat when Vance resigned to run for Senate in 2021.

Sure, because these are the assholes you want accessing your healthcare information. Of course only poor people are at risk in this scheme.
