Closing The Gaps In Health Insurance
A record number of Americans are insured, with over 90 percent of people having some form of health insurance, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Yet, many insured Americans remain vulnerable to significant medical expenses, including high premiums, out-of-pocket costs, and prior authorization burdens. Despite gains in coverage, health care affordability continues to be a major concern.
