The reason healthcare is so expensive today is that 90% of the healthy people are paying for 10% of the people who are responsible for over 66% of the healthcare expenses. The healthcare system is not designed to be fair for relatively healthy people. See the chart below.
With the high cost of insurance, many employers are not offering healthcare or are only paying for the employee and not the spouse or family. The cost of adding your family to your employer plan can take your entire paycheck.
For self-employed or a business owner you simply don’t have a large employee group to qualify for large group rates and you don’t qualify for the State ACA subsidies.

This is real insurance with an A-rated company. Quality healthcare services with set, first-dollar benefits for doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, preventive care, and more.

Why should I use an in-network doctor or hospital? Here are some of the benefits you’ll get from using an in-network doctor or hospital:
Can I suggest that a doctor join the network?
Yes. If your doctor is not in the network, you can ask your employer to nominate the provider.
How do providers know that I’m a network member?
Your ID card will include the network logo, which may be on the front or back of the ID card.
Do I need to choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP)?
Most PPO plans don’t require you to choose a PCP. Check with your employer or health plan administrator to find out what your plan requires.
Do I need a referral to see a specialist or other health care provider?
Most plans don’t need a referral for you to see a specialist. However, check with your employer or health plan administrator to find out what your plan requires. If you need more services for diagnosis and treatment, ask your doctor to refer you to another in-network provider.
What if I need to be admitted to a hospital or other facility?
Your health plan may require preauthorization of an admission to ensure that you receive the right care. You or your doctor should call the medical review company listed on your ID card. Be sure to show your ID card to the admissions staff when you check in.
What about behavioral health care providers?
Our networks include behavioral health providers. Please call your health plan to find out what services are covered and what the requirements are.
What will I owe to the provider?
When you use an in-network provider for services covered under your health plan, you may need to pay the provider as part of your plans cost share.
Your health plan’s “explanation of benefits” EOB will show a summary of the charges and your financial responsibility.
