The Health Insurance Blog You Should Follow (2023)

Health insurance blogs are a great way to keep in with the latest happenings in the health insurance world. Not only is the creator a license health agent: she also has years of experience and knowledge that goes into every blog.

But you need to always be sure you are following those who are trending with the most up-to-date news.

In this article, I have personally, compiled a list of health insurance reasons that will help you find the most useful and informative information for a variety of reasons.

Thehypothyroidismchick.com: If you want a blog that offers regular health insurance and healthcare updates, you’ll find that Thehypothyroidismchick.com posts the most informative and UpToDate articles around! Her site is catered toward the common folk needing health insurance who think they can’t afford it but yet they can. Many people qualify for free or low-cost health insurance. Her Professionalism is beyond words. However, all of her content is consumer friendly as well. She has a beautiful blog that’s easy to navigate, updated regularly, and chock full of resources about: Health insurance affordability All insurance types: vision, long-term care, short-term health, dental Prevention/public health Provider networks Product and market issues. She has also done an exceptional job of keeping up with Covid-related issues.

I focus on:

  •  health care industry
  • Tips on getting coverage or changing your plan.
  • Health advocacy 
  • privacy
  • security
  • technology
  • health insurance
  • public health
  • patient rights
  • healthcare technology
  • Health insurance affordability
  • All insurance types: vision, long-term care, short-term health, dental, vision
  • Prevention/public health
  • Provider networks
  • Product and market issues

Enacted in 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded health insurance coverage to more than 20 million people by increasing benefits and lowering health insurance costs to make coverage more affordable. Also, the ACA expanded access to health insurance with the creation of a federal marketplace (sometimes referred to as an exchange and state-administered marketplaces in some states. 

Don’t allow a medical emergency to become a financial emergency. One night stay in the hospital or even a rush to the emergency room can add up into the thousands of dollars.

ACA plans (also known as Qualified Health Plans) are major medical insurance plans certified by the ACA Health Insurance Marketplace to be offered on the marketplace.  All ACA plans –

  • Provide Essential Health Benefits
  • Follow established limits on cost-sharing (such as deductibles, copayments and out-of-pocket maximum amounts)
  • Provide coverage for people with pre-existing conditions
  • Eliminate annual and lifetime dollar limits on health insurance coverage
  • Provide 100% coverage for preventive care and cancer screening. 

The 12 essential health benefits include:

  1. Emergency services
  2. Hospitalization
  3. Out-patient services
  4. Maternity and newborn care
  5. Mental health, behavioral health, and substance use disorder services
  6. Prescription Drugs
  7. Rehabilitative and habilitative services
  8. Laboratory services
  9. Pediatric services, including oral and vision care
  10. Preventative and wellness services and chronic disease management
  11. Many People qualify for a zero monthly premium plan
  12. There is nothing for you to lose and everything for you to gain

ACA-compliant plans are also available off the marketplace. You can purchase ACA-compliant health insurance and other types of insurance directly from the insurance company or through a private marketplace, such as eHealth. (eHealth offers consumers access to ACA plans on the marketplace as well as health insurance products offered outside the federal and state marketplaces.) 

In addition, off marketplace health insurance offerings include non-.
ACA compliant medical plans, which do not include all of the benefits and consumer protections of ACA plans as well as insurance that is not regulated by the ACA, such as indemnity plans and short-term insurance policies.  

Zero Cost Monthly Premium! Yes, It’s true.

Those who believe health insurance isn’t obtainable or affordable has heard the good news! It’s just one quick call and I will see if you qualify for this type of plan.

The Affordable Care Act helps people just like yourself have health insurance. Why allow a medical emergency to become a financial one? It is based off your zip code, age, dependents and income.

Plus! Ambetter also offers a rewards flex card too. You can receive up to $500.00 and use it for a number of things such as groceries, rent, coinsurance, gas, merchandise, including tech gadgets and sporting equipment.

YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DESERVE THE PROTECTION OF HEALTH INSURANCE. OUR MISSION IS TO HELP EVERYONE ACCESS AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE. WE TAKE PRIDE IN EDUCATING COMMUNITIES AND MAKING AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE.

Christmas is fast approaching. It’s coming towards the end of another year. I’ve learned so much over this past few years. You are very POWERFUL and AMAZING  when you can begin to  fuel your body with good health, whole foods and the right nutrition.

Let’s start off 2017 with putting our own health as a #1 priority!

Food is not just calories it is information. It talks to your DNA and tells it what to do. Your most powerful tool to change your health is your fork. You should eat foods that nourish your body and not hinder it. Hypothyroidism does have a root cause. Once you start addressing the root of your problems then your body can start healing itself. Your body is an awesome design but there is a complex balance between everything.  In all of my books, I give you the blueprint to start reshaping your mind and body.

Secrets to my Hypothyroidism Success: A personal guide to Hypothyroidism freedom

I wish somebody had given me a step-by-step road-map back when I was first diagnosed with hypothyroidism. The solutions in this book has helped so many people. I’ve done my best to pull from all their expertise, as well as my own knowledge and clinical experience. I want to make it easy for you to find the answers quickly, all in the one place, because I’m all too familiar with that awful side effects of hypothyroidism. I certainly don’t want you to have to spend years finding solutions, like I did. I also want you to understand that there isn’t an easy “one pill” solution, but the “one pill” approach that our current medical system is using is NOT WORKING because the underlying cause for hypothyroidism is not being addressed. Knowledge is power, educate yourself and find the answer to your health care needs. Wisdom is a wonderful thing to seek. I hope this book will teach and encourage you to take leaps in your life to educate yourself for a happier & healthier life. You have to take ownership of your health
