Health insurance coverage in the United States is very complex. Some health care experts feel the intimate role employers play in providing access to health coverage has become obsolete, or out dated. Years ago an individual could work for the same employer their entire life. Today employment consultants estimate working individuals will be employed in approximately 10 different settings.
The difficulty arises when the employee transfers from one work setting to the next. How does the health insurance coverage work then? National news reported Andy Harris a Maryland representative experienced this first hand. Andy Harris was confronted with (Waiting Period) a time of no health insurance coverage between employers. Andy harris made it clear through complaints that he did not like the loss of health insurance.
Public watch groups have picked up on newly elected Maryland Representative Andy Harris's complaints . Hoping to ride this wave of the publics attention by asking congressional represenatives to not take the government sponsored health care coverage. This would require congressional representatives to shop for and purchase private health care insurance.
Public watch groups explain this is precisely what many members of congress have been asking families to do for themsleves. This would prove tough for newly elected Maryland Rep Andy Harris, who was totally surprised at the waiting period requirement.
Groups working with the current health care reform will hold this up as an example of just how difficult, and complex the delivery of health care is in the United States. Home Care Path www.homecarepath.com encourages seniors to keep informed on the evolution of health care delivery taking place.
