Health Insurance for Diabetics

MedSave.com updated a popular time-saving resource for diabetics that lists all of the available health insurance options in the U.S.

(PRWEB) September 21, 2006 -- A popular article titled “Health Insurance for Diabetics” was recently updated at MedSave.com to include the latest news and trends that affect more than 25 million diabetics in the U.S. The article summarizes the five ways that diabetics in the U.S. find health insurance and includes links to additional resources for each type of coverage. Many people will be surprised by the rapid pace of change in this area since states implemented a federal law known as “HIPAA”. MedSave.com believes that an entirely new type of limited benefit health insurance known as “mini-med policies” will eventually become the dominant type of insurance for diabetics and many of the nation’s working class.

MedSave.com originally published this article in 2000 because the company noticed that diabetics were searching online for insurance alternatives without really understanding the options and legal framework of the coverage. This led to many people enrolling in health plans that seemed too good to be true – and often turned out to be completely inappropriate. Some became victim of online scams that prey on people who do not qualify for or cannot afford regular health insurance. MedSave.com offers low cost health insurance options but expends much effort educating consumers on the limitations and trade-offs of each option.

Author Tony Novak has covered this topic for about six years. He hears from hundreds of diabetics each year and has covered many aspects of this growing niche of the heath care industry. Many of the stories told the diabetics without insurance are heart-breaking, he says. An increasing number are frustrated and angry with the current situation. In some states the existing laws make it practically impossible for a middle income person to afford health insurance. In other states, the number of affordable health insurance options is expanding. Novak welcomes comments and feedback for future publications “but no complaints” he says, “remember I’m only the messenger”.
