Question by Cesaria Barbarossa – 40K: How could health care costs be lowered, as an alternative to UHC?
One answerer proposed lowering health care costs. How can this be done while keeping jobs, maintaining the same standard of care etc. Isn’t the cost comprised of salaries, insurance, supplies, procedures, maintenance, utilities etc etc? How could we shave off costs as an alternative. Thanks.
I am not talking about the Bill. I am talking about an alternative to the bill. An opponent of the bill stated to “lower health care costs.” How can this be done without losing jobs etc etc. (what I previously stated).

If COBRA coverage is too pricey for you, you may have some affordable options. It depends primarily on your age and how healthy you are. If you have a pre-existing medical condition then COBRA really may be your best option, since you may be turned down elsewhere. But if you’re relatively healthy then you should be able to find an individual or family health insurance plan that will cost you significantly less than COBRA.

It’s hard to make a specific recommendation without more information. What kind of coverage is important to you? Do you visit the doctor frequently? Then you may want a plan with a lower deductible and copayments, even if you pay more for a monthly premium. If you don’t visit the doctor frequently at all and you’re not on prescription drugs, then you may want to consider a higher deductible plan that may cost less on a monthly basis. You’ll pay out of pocket for more things, but you’ll still have a valuable layer of protection in case of an unexpected injury or hospitalization. Also – Do you expect to have employer coverage again within six months? Then you may actually prefer a short-term health insurance plan.

I’d recommend that you talk with a licensed agent who represents multiple insurance companies in your area. It doesn’t cost anything extra and it can provide you with a broader view of the options available. To check out your options for yourself, you could also visit a licensed online agency, like eHealthInsurance.com – where I work. Through our site, for example, you can get free quotes and compare plans side by side to find the best match for your needs. We also have a website dedicated to educating consumers about their COBRA options. Check it out at cobralearning.com.

Hope that helps. Good luck,

Amir M, licensed agent
