http://practicalhealthinsurance.net Where Health Insurance Becomes Affordable Tue, 08 Mar 2011 15:16:23 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://practicalhealthinsurance.net/health-news/home-based-health-insurance-getting-support/ http://practicalhealthinsurance.net/health-news/home-based-health-insurance-getting-support/#comments Thu, 10 Jun 2010 15:23:34 +0000 Avatar http://practicalhealthinsurance.net/health-news/home-based-health-insurance-getting-support/ The Federal Government is lifting tight control on home-based health care for the poor in efforts to lower the total number of uninsured Americans. Current Federal sponsored programs do not allow home-based care and requires facility bound treatments for them to qualify. This would allow the poor to get the care they need and not have to pay for expensive hospitalization fees for procedures that could be done safely at home. The plan calls for availability of the option for people who fall no greater than 150% of the set poverty level. This is in hopes of filling in some of the gap whereby many Americans fall into in terms of health insurance. The working poor cannot avail of government sponsored health care for they are not poor enough, but still cannot afford private health care due to not enough income.
