CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - August 20, 2009) - Reports have been back and forth this week over
the controversial "public health insurance" plan. Whether our health system
should include a government-run public option is a polarizing topic which
has ignited a heated debate.
But even without a public health plan, affordable individual health
insurance is not out of reach, says online portal GoHealthInsurance.com.
"It's good to have a constructive conversation about whether or not a
public health plan would help or hurt our reform efforts," said Brandon
Cruz, President and CTO of Norvax, Inc., the parent company of
GoHealthInsurance.com. "But we can't forget that Americans already have
access to affordable individual health insurance."
According to Cruz, GoHealthInsurance is the fastest growing online resource
for comparison shopping for health coverage and purchasing insurance
online. Just last month, more than 119,000 consumers visited
GoHealthInsurance.com to explore their individual health insurance
options.
What's even more, an overwhelming number of consumers -- 81% in total--
that used GoHealthInsurance to purchase a health plan thought the price of
their coverage met or beat their cost expectations.
"The fact is that affordable coverage is available whether we have a public
option or not. If a shopper has the right tools, then finding a plan that
fits their budget is actually quite simple," added Cruz.
With the technology at GoHealthInsurance.co, Americans without coverage can
comparison shop instantly online and apply for coverage, if they choose,
fully on the Web. If a shopper needs assistance, GoHealthInsurance.com
provides support with the help of a nationwide network of independent
agents -- one that is unrivaled by any other insurance resource online.
GoHealthInsurance.com provides interactive tools such as the Plan Finder
(www.gohealthinsurance.com/plan-finder), which is designed to identify a
shopper's individual needs and match those needs with a compatible health
plan. The online insurance connector also offers an in-depth Health
Insurance Information Center to help shoppers better understand how
health insurance works.
Consumers have access to all these tools for free at
www.gohealthinsurance.com.
