Nancy Pelosi the House speaker emphasized her push for a public run health insurance plan that has separated democrats, stating that it could save huge amounts of money. According to the Wall Street Journal Congressional supporters said including a government plan for people under the age of 65 in the health insurance reform could save as much as $200 billion, if this plan were to pay for health care providers the low rates used by Medicare. The House Speaker is speeding up efforts to develop a consensus bill that would mend committee versions passed during the summer. The main decision is how to pinch the cost of the bill and ensure the legislation doesn’t increase the deficit over the long term. What are your though on a public run health care system and a universal health insurance plan?

Some tips for keeping your health insurance in place via our insurance broker staff.  Changing to a new health insurance policy may seem like a good idea. This is a great way to get better coverage, and maybe even save money. But guess what? There are times when you would be better off leaving your health insurance as is. In other words, you don’t need to make a change just because you think it is the “in thing” to do. There are many people who already have the right health insurance, and you may very well be one of them. 

Are you comfortable overall with your coverage? If you can answer yes to this question you should not be looking for a different policy. Instead, be happy that you enjoy what you have and that it makes you feel good about yourself. 

Cost and coverage are what you need to consider when reviewing your health insurance policy. If both of these details are perfect you should not look into making a change at this time. The worst thing you can do is ditch good coverage. If you do this you could end up with something bad, and in a position that you did not have to be in. 

There are times when you should leave your current health insurance coverage and search for a better policy. Do you know when this time is? If you have the right policy there is no reason to make a change. Stick with what you have until further notice.
