The Health Insurance Crisis

Health Insurance Out Of Control

Let's face it, the insurance companies in the United States today have gotten way out of control. Many studies show that HMO's are in big trouble and may be on the verge of going out of business in the next for years.

Millions of Americans either do not have access to any type of medical benefits or the benefits that are offered by their employers are simply not affordable. It is a common place for a typical family coverage plan through an employer to cost $400-$600 a month or more and that is just the employee portion. Most people that have a family and are working for an average hourly rate simply cannot afford it.

Employers facing annual premium increases of upwards of 40% are having to place more of the premium burden on the employee and /or reduce the coverage provided to their employees.

70% of all Americans have no Dental coverage at all.

There Is An Alternative

Consumer Driven Health Care Programs are not health insurance but they are a low cost alternative to health benefits. Millions of people who do not have access or cannot afford their current access are finding this low cost insurance alternative as a solution to providing the coverage their family needs. Considering that these plans only average between $20-$60 a month for family coverage it is no wonder 1.4 million American have already signed on. Care providers have signed on to the tune of over 500,000 professionals and pharmacy locations.

How Does It Work?

Health care professionals, vision centers and pharmacy locations sign on to the program and offer discounted care for program members. Discounts range from 10%-80% depending on the care provided. Members have access to care locator services online and via phone just like a conventional insurance plan. They visit their provider and get the car they need without having to worry about approval from a insurance company. This leads to putting back the decisions about treatment in the hands of the doctor rather than a insurance company.

A Tsunami Of Health Care

With more and more Americans losing benefits everyday Consumer Driven Health Care Programs are preparing for a tsunami of consumers looking for discount health insurance. It has already started and these companies are struggling to find enough people to handle the requests for information. This opens up a fantastic home based business opportunity as these companies utilize independent home business workers to help grow their business.

People looking for a discount health insurance option or looking to start a great work from home business opportunity are turning to Consumer Driven Health Programs.
