Hi Everyone,
Hope May is starting off healthy for everyone!
I would like to share a few facts about Americans in need of health insurance. I read an article from Medical News Today and was reminded again about the problems that we face when it comes to affordable health care!
An excerpt from the article:
Just over one quarter (26%) of all Americans of working age in 2011 experienced a gap in health insurance cover, says a new report published by the Commonwealth Fund. The authors explained that in many cases, when people change their jobs or become unemployed, many of them lose health coverage.
It can be extremely difficult to recover employer-sponsored health coverage after it is lost, the report showed. 69% of those who spent time with no health insurance, did so for at least 12 months; for 57% the period was longer than two years.
62% of individuals who attempted to purchase individual health insurance during the past 36 months found it either extremely hard or impossible to find affordable policies
31% applied for health insurance coverage and were turned down, charged a higher price, or excluded because of some pre-existing condition
60% of those who attempted to buy a plan on their own reported that it had been very or somewhat difficult to properly compare the benefits offered by different plans
45% said they did not purchase a plan, the main reason being the high costs involved
DOES THE ABOVE INFORMATION SPEAK TO YOU….. If so, watch the video below and contact a representative that can help you at 800-370-5760. NO one is turned down under the age of 65 and our plans are affordable for most people.
Don’t forget… there is a solution to obtaining affordable health care!
