House healthcare bill is radically off the mark: Cinergy Health

Cinergy Health, a nationwide provider of guaranteed issue health insurance benefit programs for the consumer market, expressed its concern for the house healthcare bill that passed Saturday, November 7th.

"While the house healthcare bill is far from perfect, it is at least a step towards expanding access to affordable health coverage for all Americans," said Daniel Touizer, CEO of Cinergy Health. "Unfortunately, the House healthcare bill is radically off the mark from what meaningful health reform needs to address. While it contains elements of an effective healthcare reform bill such as emphasis on prevention and healthcare affordability, it fails to tackle the roots of rising healthcare costs," Touizer said.

"We hope to see more compromises throughout the legislative process as the final bill is crafted to support promoting healthier lifestyles at home and in the workplace, allowing Americans to buy insurance across state lines and reducing the costs for pharmaceuticals and hospital-based care," Touizer said.

Cinergy Health offers unique, affordable alternatives to exorbitant insurance premiums for individuals and families, regardless of income or health condition. Plans are designed to encourage people to seek care when needed, not to delay or deter them such that their condition could worsen.
