Web-Based Health Insurance Portal Dedicates its energies to supplying health care consumers across the nation with the reasonably-priced medical insurance opportunities they increasingly need at http://www. Insurelane. com
(PRWEB) April 16, 2005
Given a current economic situation delineated by budget deficits at the local, state wide and federal levels, higher than expected unemployment rates, and perpetually escalating health care costs – the overall rate of un-insurance will certainly continue to expand and have a greater communitywide impact. Meanwhile, employer-sponsored health benefits premiums increased by an average of around eleven percent over the course of last year – somewhat less than 2003’s 13.9% increase, but nevertheless it represented our nation’s fourth successive year of double-digit price increases, according to a number of 2004’s national health care benefits surveys, the co-premiums for employer-sponsored health related and medical insurance generally rose at around 2.3% or five times the rate of workers’ income (2.2%) as well as the rate of inflation. Overall, over the course of 2004 employers and their group plan participant employees continued to search for more effective ways to control health insurance’s rising cost as more than half shopped for better options at sites like www. insurelane. com and one in six actually changed insurers as a result.
Last year, health care insurance premiums reached a staggering average of $829.00 per month or $9,950.00 annually for family benefits coverage and $308.00 per month or $3,695.00 annually for single-payer health coverage. Over the same period, family plan PPO organization premiums, responsible for covering most American workers, rose to an average $851.00 per month or $10,217.00 annually, up appreciably from 2003Â’s average of $776.00 per month or $9,317.00 annually. But probably most instructive is the fact that family indemnity coverage premiums have risen an astounding fifty-nine percent since the year 2000. The aforementioned surveys also found that the percentage of the nationÂ’s workforce receiving healthcare coverage through their employers today is roughly equivalent to 2003Â’s sixty-two percent mark, but that number represents a significant down-turn from 2001Â’s peak of a sixty-five percent employee insured rate.
Which is why fewer and fewer businesses small or larger are offering substantial group health plan coverage, and why fewer of their employees are able to take-up health coverage and thatÂ’s obviously led to increasing numbers of consumers in need of comprehensive and affordable private health care insurance options that are increasingly hard to find. That worsening consumer situation has led to the creation of the web portal Insure Lane, designed to offer its free services to those seeking better health or medical insurance options. Boasting the capacity to offer online health insurance quotes and information on over 45 available health indemnity carriers, in addition to locally-based agent and independent agency selection services that will allow health insurance shoppers nationwide to compare up to five separate side-by-side health or medical benefits plans. www. insurelane. com has dedicated its resources to remaining responsive and accessible to the general public and their health insurance needs.
Facing continued premium increases of the kinds outlined above and fewer available employer health plans besides, its hardly surprising that many employees have reported turning entirely or partly toward private health plan options as they looked for cost-saving insurance alternatives over the last few years. And, you donÂ’t have to look much farther than over the trends of the last several years to understand why more and more Americans are so worried about their health care costs. In just the area of premium contributions, more families paid $1,000.00 more for their healthcare benefits in 2004 than they did in back in 2000. More than any other single factor, increasing out-of-pocket costs are driving the consumer concern about health insurance availability and accessibility that rare web portals such as www. insurelane. com have sprung up to address.
