Health Insurance and You!

Health Insurance can be scary, confusing and unaffordable. I’d like to start by acknowledging this basic truth that millions of Americans live every day.  We talk to thousands of Americans each day and I’d like to give voice to some real issues affecting individuals and families who don’t get health insurance as part of their employer’s plan.

• Health insurance can be hard to afford – the average consumer plan that we provide each day costs about $180.00 per month – this is a significant component of the family budget.
• If you have diabetes or many other conditions, most health plans will not accept you. 
• You don’t know if you are getting a good deal – even when you can qualify for health insurance and can afford it, it is hard to know what the best value plan for you is. Most people have a hard time understanding and managing their health policies.

Welcome to my blog, whether you are a consumer, a policy maker or part of the health insurance industry.   Our goal here is to understand the many dimensions of the health insurance crisis and how technology, policy and markets can help the American consumer.
