Welcome to my blog about the health
insurance industry in the United States. This blog is meant to educate you as a
consumer and shed light on the actual facts of what is happening in the US regarding
healthcare and how Americans are covered under insurance.
We will dive into the alphabet soup of healthcare and break down the ways one would access healthcare by the different delivery models.
There is a sense of panic as to what is going to happen in the future with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and I will do my best to piece together what is actually going on and how it will affect you.
However, it is everyone's responsibility to be involved in this discussion. Yes, we are in a potential crisis right now, but it should not have taken a crisis for people to understand the current delivery system in the US. Far too many people just say it is too confusing and don't take time to understand the mechanics.
I hope to change that and start a conversation where you will learn, as a consumer, how to access your care, who provides your care on a state or federal level, and who to call to voice your concerns and what to say.
Please understand, I am not defending the industry, the politics or the consumer - I am going to lay this out so that you can make your own decisions. My goal is to make you an educated citizen.

Thanks Rob, helpful summary of a very complicated issue. Let's hope the legislators in the Congress and the states work out something in the best interests of the American people.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol - I am hoping to get folks as educated as possible so they can address their concerns with facts.
DeleteRob, thanks so much for taking the time and making the effort to do this. Really valuable!
ReplyDeleteThank you Keith. I appreciate the feedback - if you have something specific I can focus on that you would like to know, I would be happy to add it to a post. Please note, I will be the first to say I'm out of my comfort zone if it is out of my league.
