Health Insurance

Written by Daniel Kivatinos on May 18, 2009 — 1 Comment

Here is some great information provided by CNCB on health insurance from the show On the Money.

  • 48 million Americans under the age of 65 lack health insurance.
  • 1/3 of Americans spend part of year 2007 without health insurance.
  • The last decade for premium employer sponsored health insurance rose 4x times as fast as our income.

Just as a side note, there is a company that does health insurance rating, the company is called A.M. Best. Check out the A.M. Best website if you are looking for health insurance ratings.

    Good introductory video, however, other ways to save on money or get more value for dollars spent on health insurance include considering the purchase of a high deductibles insurance plan with a HSA (health savings account). Lower premiums and the ability to shelter money tax-free is nice. Also, finding the best healthcare plan to keep you healthy can be found at http://www.ncqa.org.
