Why Obama Health Plan Is No Excuse to Defer
Coverage
While
the American government continues the debate over Obama's Health Plan,
postponing medical care today instigates impending major illnesses.
Each year, over a million Americans are diagnosed with cancer and
550,000 are diagnosed with heart disease. Diabetes tops the list of
death related illnesses and exorbitant disability costs, totaling
almost $175 billion costs each year. Medical research statistics
suggest that at least 50 percent of the population will be diagnosed
with one of the aforementioned health conditions in their lifetime.
As in the case of Bea Levinson (59), she had gone without health insurance for five years. By the time she was diagnosed with lung cancer, it was in its final stage, rendering no hope for treatment. Ms. Levinson's case reflects the risk of waiting for a finalized Obama Health Plan to pass. Out of the leading causes of death, the National Institute of Health says that finding these complications early could extend life with the proper medical care, long before the complication evolves into the critical stages. Even more worrisome, by the time a major illness is diagnosed, many are left with the financial burden of paying for covering their medical costs and fighting the disease. The vicious cycle continues when the sick are unable to cover the cost of their medicine and doctor's visits. Deferring Michigan health insurance is comparable to creating one's own death sentence. Nevertheless, waiting for the final draft of the Obama Health Plan is tantamount to giving one a death sentence. The misconception that Michigan health insurance is an optional requirement is the reason many fall prey to financial devastation. Regardless of one's current situation (unemployed, college student or a preexisting medical condition), a wealth of affordable Michigan health insurance policies can be can be customized to meet a consumer's unique financial and medical situation. Use the following strategies for shopping for an economical Michigan Health Insurance plan: - Instead of shopping for a policy, which covers a single chronic illness such as cancer, shop for a Michigan health insurance policy that accommodates your employment status, financial and overall health situations. - Protect your health. As it could be another five years before the Obama health plan is finalized, do not defer coverage until the program is refined. |
