Unemployment Results to Uninsured
Apr 6th
With the economy on a downfall studies show that as the unemployment rate increases the amount of people uninsured through health insurance increases. When people lose their jobs it is linked to losing their health insurance and this is where the health reform can take place. This situation can be improved by expanding the program to all people regardless of income, stating limitations on out-of-pocket expenses, and having subsidies offered to those that will have to buy health insurance without the assistance of employer benefits. Over sixty-percent of the working people are insured through their job or a family members employment.
Health reform is the only answer to this economical downfall that we are experiencing. There are basic insurance programs that are offered for adults that have low-income, but there is a large waiting list to get accepted into the program. In some circumstances, the federal program offers individuals to purchase the same insurance benefits they received from their previous employer before they had lost their jobs.
As a result, many people are also buying COBRA insurance if they qualify. Many American’s are afraid that they will not only lose their jobs, but also their health insurance that covers them and their family as well. The consequences of not being insured can be very costly. Medical bills can add up quickly with costly procedures. When you have the coverage available for health insurance it makes a dramatic difference on your out-of-pocket expenses. The health insurance reform is designed to help lower costs on health care, improve the quality of health insurance, and expand coverages.
