Experiencing the problem first hand.
Take Command began when Jack Hooper and his wife, Brittany, were surprised with a twin pregnancy.
On a graduate school budget, Jack sought additional student loans to pay for the birth of his twins. He spoke with doctors, hospital administrators, and insurance experts and was shocked no one could give him a ballpark answer about how much the twins would cost. Read our launch story in the New York Times.
The team that makes it all work.
We're proud HRA nerds! see the faces behind the brand that works hard for your.
