Benefits of Health Insurance

Picking a health care insurance that best fits your needs is very stressful. I get A LOT of questions about my knowledge regarding health insurance. I’m not an expert by any means but I’ve come up with a quick guide of tips to help you choose a plan that is right for you. In New York State we have the health care exchange which allows you to pick a plan based on specific guidelines. Enrollment at this point is limited to Essential Plans, Medicaid and Child Health Plus. To see if you qualify click here: NYS Health Exchange.

In the health care insurance and millennials missguided notions podcast, I refer to important factors with regard to choosing health care providers and beyond that you may find helpful as well. I’m linking resources to help you find a provider near you.

Health insurance is something that I feel as a society we take for granted. It’s one of those things that we don’t necessarily see the value unless you don’t have it and the unthinkable happens.

Major changes have happened within the health care industry thanks to the enactment of the affordable care act. We still have a long way to go and there has been much debate about a universal system that would guarantee access to health care for all. Certain countries such as Canada and Switzerland offers universal health care which definitely has its advantages.

I’ve also heard some limitations, what are your thoughts about health insurance as a whole? Do you have insurance and most importantly do you see the value of it? If you don’t have health care insurance what are some barriers that you find because of it? I would love to hear your thoughts.
