Press Release Body = The rising cost of health care and lack of health insurance spell disaster for millions of American families. According to the U S Census Bureau, 45.5 million Americans have no health insurance. This is the highest level in nearly ten years. This figure represents an increase of 6 million uninsured people in the United States since the year 2000. There are several reasons for the increase in uninsured individuals. Higher unemployment rates have resulted in a loss of benefits for many families. Increased costs have resulted in small businesses choosing not to offer benefits. American employees are experiencing the lowest level of employer based insurance in well over a decade. For others, the rising costs of employers heath plans, larger deductibles and higher co payments have resulted in people being unable to afford to participate, even when the employer does offer benefits.
The lack of the availability of health insurance results in fragmented and inadequate health care. The rising costs of health care make it impossible for millions to afford to visit the doctor when they are ill. This results in needless death for tens of thousands of Americans every year.
In response to the rising costs of health care, many companies are beginning to engage in Consumer Driven Health Care. Under this system, employees have personal health accounts known as Medical Savings Accounts. Medical expenses are paid from this account. A benefit of this method is that you and your doctor make decisions regarding your health care and treatment, not an insurance company or HMO.
