frequently asked questions
Why is your health insurance so affordable?
With our plan, your premium is based on your age, smoking status, where you live and your overall health. The healthier you are, the lower your premium! It’s like a good driver discount for your health.
On top of that, 5% of the population is responsible for 50% of all healthcare costs in the US. Our plan is so much more affordable because that 5% of the population does not enroll in our plan. That population typically uses the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) or Medicaid to pay for their excess usage.
The people who are eligible and who qualify for our health indemnity plan are typically healthier. That means our health indemnity plan doesn’t have to pay as many claims…which means we can lower your premium payments, while still giving you better benefits, which makes our plan an incredibly affordable health insurance option!

Will this be enough coverage for me?
