Open Enrollment in Detroit Michigan

We wrote an Opinion on open enrollment, and how it upholds the bottom line for insurance companies, rather than protecting the health of every day Americans.

You see, if you miss the open enrollment period, you can be excluded from health insurance coverage for 12 months, which will reduce your ability to have access to healthcare resources.

Plus health insurance plan prices are often exorbitant, forcing folks to pay hefty deductibles before any "coverage" from the health insurance company kicks in.

Finally, it's a mistake to tie health insurance coverage to employment - as we've seen with this pandemic, millions of job losses lead to millions more uninsured, and this is horrible considering that the job losses are due to a pandemic that leaves folks vulnerable to high cost hospitalizations.

I have to give a big thank you to my co-author Geoffrey Ginter a 3rd year medical student at Wayne State University School of Medicine. Also a big thank you to the editorial staff at The Detroit News for featuring our opinion.

Last Day For Open Enrollment

Hello all! It's December 15th and the last day to sign up for health insurance. Health insurance is different from Health Care. What I provide at Plum Health DPC is health care - visits with the doctor, wholesale medications, at-cost labs, convenience, etc...

But you also need health insurance - this is a financial tool to protect you from bankruptcy in case of major accidents, illnesses, or injuries. If you have cancer, a heart attack, a stroke or are involved in an auto accident, you need health insurance to cover these costs.

The best way to get health insurance? Go to HealthCare.gov and choose a plan that's right for you. 

Thanks for your time, thanks for reading and watching! And, sincerely, if you need help with this, give me a call!
