Affordable Health Insurance: Does it Exist?

Friday, December 18, 2009

With health care reform in the national spotlight, consider the following scenario:

A family of 5, with a father who is collecting disability because of a brain tumor and an inability to work, is not eligible for any health insurance assistance because of the pittance received from disability.

This family of 5 must come up with a COBRA payment every month so that the father can receive treatment. COBRA payments for a family of five are generally over a thousand dollars a month. Without insurance, treatment options rapidly decline to comfort care only.

Health insurance is a necessity for all of us and it seems impossible that a person receiving disability is not automatically granted free health care. Health insurance is a right, a basic human right, and health insurance premiums should not stop anyone from the best medical care possible.
