Health insurance Orange County

Tweet

 

Orange County, California along with the rest of California has experienced record unemployment according to the latest report from the OC Register.  Just under 10% for Orange County.  This mass of unemployed is causing the the uninsured ranks to swell to almost 25% in some counties in California. 

Think about that - nearly 1 in 4 Californians lacks health insurance.  Health insurance systems are still too employer based and when you lose your job many people don't realize that they can get individual health insurance for California at pretty low rates.  Most of the time you can get coverage for rates lower than charged to employers for group coverage.  50% of all bankruptcies are direct results of medical problems so going without health insurance in very risky.

The depth of this recession has really hit healthcare hard and too many California residents are badly needing health insurance.  Hopefully, some will look into individual health insurance for Orange County - but of course nothing is free and when you don't have an income paying premiums can be difficult.
