New Study on Health Insurance
A new study finds what we’ve all known for some time, most Americans that try to buy personal health insurance end up not getting any simply because they cannot afford it. That translates into three out of four people, about 57% said they couldn’t find insurance that would meet their needs and that they could afford.
About 47% said they simply didn’t find a plan that fit their needs, and another 36% said they couldn’t get insurance because of pre-existing conditions, or had conditions that insurance companies would not cover.
They also found that people who did buy individual plans ended up paying a lot more for premiums and deductables than those people who had insurance through their job.
The numbers are staggering, people with individual health care coverage paid an average of over $6,700 , whereas those who had insurance from work paid only$2,250.
People need to have health insurance that they can afford and will cover the conditions that they need covered. This all seems to so simple and yet will we ever get there?
