Affordable Health Care for Those who Need it Most

AmeriPlan® USA is the nation’s premier discount medical plan organization. The company was founded in 1992, in Plano, Texas, by twin brothers Dennis and Daniel Bloom. The company was created for those who can not afford the high costs of health insurance, but who can afford something much cheaper.

(PRWEB) September 2, 2006 -- Health care costs in the last 5 years have risen about 115%. The average American family spends $10,000-$11,000 per year on health insurance premiums. The average American household income is $33,000 per year. The fact that health insurance takes a significant amount of family income is reason enough to sign up for a discount medical plan. Although discount medical plans are not insurance, Americans will still benefit greatly from them, because they will be able to go to the doctor whenever they want. A family health plan of $60.00 per month will bring you savings of 25%-80% off for many medical services and prescriptions. That’s about $720.00 per year in health care costs versus the $10,000 yearly costs Americans are subjected to with health insurance. You’ll end up saving $9,280 a year on health insurance by switching to a discount medical plan. Those savings could be set aside for any major medical care you may need in the future. For example, if you signed up for an AmeriPlan Health® plan and you only visited the doctor 2-3 times per year, your out of pocket expenses would be very small because of the discounts you will receive. If you had health insurance, and you only go to the doctor 2-3 times per year you are still spending 14 times more than you would if you had a discount medical plan. There’s no need to pay for costly health insurance when you are able to save 25%-80% on all of your health care costs with AmeriPlan Health®.
