Cinergy Health, a nationwide provider of guaranteed issue health insurance benefit programs for the consumer market, expressed its concern for the House Health Care bill that passed Saturday, November 7th.

“While the House Health Care bill is far from perfect, it is at least a step towards expanding access to affordable health coverage for all Americans,” said Daniel Touizer, CEO of Cinergy Health. “Unfortunately, the House Health Care bill is radically off the mark from what meaningful health reform needs to address. While it contains elements of an effective health care reform bill such as emphasis on prevention and health care affordability, it fails to tackle the roots of rising health care costs,” Touizer said.

“We hope to see more compromises throughout the legislative process as the final bill is crafted to support promoting healthier lifestyles at home and in the workplace, allowing Americans to buy insurance across state lines and reducing the costs for pharmaceuticals and hospital-based care,” Touizer said.

Cinergy Health offers unique, affordable alternatives to exorbitant insurance premiums for individuals and families, regardless of income or health condition. Plans are designed to encourage people to seek care when needed, not to delay or deter them such that their condition could worsen
