Wellness Advantage Lessens Financial Burden of High Insurance Deductibles
Denver, CO (PRWEB) February 18, 2014 -- The Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) provides health insurance for all, regardless of income and preexisting conditions. However, the negatives may outweigh the positives for many.
Premiums range $200 to more than $1,000 per month, with deductibles from $2,000 to $6,000 or higher. Many life saving prescriptions are not covered. Many plans only provide dental and vision coverage for dependents younger than 20 years old.
A healthy millennial may find health insurance premiums at $70 to $100, with a deductible of $5,000 or more. For a healthy 20-something, paying the penalty for not enrolling in health insurance and for health services may make economic sense.
The solution is the Wellness Advantage, powered by WellCard Health.
