Download or read book Decoding Your Health Insurance written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumers need clear information about the benefits provided by their health insurance plans--what' covered, what isn't covered, and what costs they're responsible for. Yet research has found that consumers have significant difficulty understanding health insurance plans. This has a direct impact on consumers' health: Without a clear understanding of what their insurance covers, consumers are more likely to delay or forgo care, to make uninformed choices about treatment, and to end up with large and unexpected bills. That will change beginning on September 23, 2012, when the Affordable Care Act will, for the first time, give consumers the right to concise, comparable, plain-language descriptions of the benefits and costs under private health insurance plans. This information will be provided in the new Summary of Benefits and Coverage. The Summary of Benefits and Coverage will help the nearly 173.5 million people (65.1 percent of non-elderly Americans) who have private health insurance. It will help them decode the terms and conditions of their coverage and make informed health care decisions, regardless of whether they get their health insurance through a job or purchase coverage in the individual insurance market.

Download or read book Decoding the New Consumer Mind written by Kit Yarrow and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a glimpse into the mind of the modern consumer A decade of swift and stunning change has profoundly affected the psychology of how, when, and why we shop and buy. In Decoding the New Consumer Mind, award-winning consumer psychologist Kit Yarrow shares surprising insights about the new motivations and behaviors of shoppers, taking marketers where they need to be today: into the deeply psychological and often unconscious relationships that people have with products, retailers, marketing communications, and brands. Drawing on hundreds of consumer interviews and shop-alongs, Yarrow reveals the trends that define our transformed behavior. For example, when we shop we show greater emotionality, hunting for more intense experiences and seeking relief and distraction online. A profound sense of isolation and individualism shapes the way we express ourselves and connect with brands and retailers. Neurological research even suggests that our brains are rewired, altering what we crave, how we think, and where our attention goes. Decoding the New Consumer Mind provides marketers with practical ways to tap into this new consumer psychology, and Yarrow shows how to combine technology and innovation to enhance brand image; win love and loyalty through authenticity and integrity; put the consumer’s needs and preferences front and center; and deliver the most emotionally intense, yet uncomplicated, experience possible. Armed with Yarrow’s strategies, marketers will be able to connect more effectively with consumers—driving profit and success across the organization.

Download or read book Public Options for Individual Health Insurance written by Jodi L. Liu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) brought substantial changes to the individual health insurance market. However, health care remains unaffordable for many, and enrollment in individual health insurance plans has declined since 2016. There is growing interest at the state and federal levels in a "public option" for individual market insurance. In 2019, members of Congress introduced four bills that would create a federal public option, at least 18 states considered legislation for a public option or a Medicaid buy-in option, and several Democratic Party presidential candidates included public options in their platforms. Some proposals for a public option would create government-run insurance plans to compete with private insurance, and others would create plans administered by insurance carriers operating under government oversight and rate regulation. The authors consider public option alternatives that vary based on the rates providers are paid, whether the option is implemented on or off Health Insurance Marketplaces, and whether premium tax credits are available to higher-income individuals. For each of the four scenarios, the authors use a microsimulation approach to estimate how adding a federal public option for individual market insurance could affect overall insurance coverage, individual market enrollment, premiums for individual market enrollees, and government spending. The trends and policy implications may be of interest to state and federal policymakers considering a public option.
