In a bleak report on Friday, the Labor Department said that almost 600,000 jobs disappeared in January and that a total of 3.6 million jobs had been lost since the beginning of the recession in December 2007. *
In this economy with forced layoffs, many good jobs with health benefits have disappeared. Since many people are covered through their employer's insurance, when they lose their jobs they are forced to take the expensive and unaffordable continuation of benefits or they lose health benefits altogether. For each jobless worker who has lost insurance, children and spouse have also lost protection. This group of individuals is opting to cancel appointments with doctors and dentists, putting off surgery, and going without prescription medicines for themselves and their children to not spend money.
You know the financial risk of going without health insurance but it can be so expensive. There is an affordable solution if you are laid off or are self employed with a struggling business. Many have chosen short term medical insurance. This immediate inexpensive medical protection provides peace of mind and is affordable coverage until new employment is secured or your business rebounds.
Don't delay and act today to see if this is the right solution for your situation and get a Short Term Health Insurance quote now.
