Throughout the last decade, the costs of health insurance premiums AND healthcare services have escalated to 15-20% year-over-year. For many hardworking Americans, both have become unaffordable.

​

If in 2011, a gallon of gasoline cost $3.00, a 15% year-over-year increase would mean paying $12.14 per gallon in 2021.  Now calculate an average individual premium of $300 per month in 2011, and that premium is now $1,214 per month, which is more than most house payments!  Families of four are being asked to pay over $2,000 per month in premiums.

​

No one should live in fear of needing a doctor or hospital. A single overnight hospital stay can exceed $10,000.  Heart surgery exceeds $100,000, and electives run between $25,000 and $50,000.  

​

Healthcare insurance cannot be considered a luxury.  It's essential, but what happens when the premium is no longer affordable?  An accident or unexpected illness can be devastating to a family.
