Uninsured Population Overwhelms Safety Net Health Care Providers

Abrams California Health Insurance represents all plans with the major insurance carriers.

Laguna Niguel, CA (prHWY.com) July 5, 2012 - Laguna Niguel, California - Nearly one in three Houston, Texas residents lack health insurance coverage, and many find themselves turned away from facilities offering free services due to an overwhelming demand. The Houston metropolitan area suffers from one of the highest rates of uninsured residents in the United States, forcing the county hospital district's call center to turn away about 400 people every single day. While the situation in Houston is dire, carriers like Anthem Blue Cross help California residents obtain and retain health insurance coverage, avoiding the plight of the uninsured regardless of income.

Put simply, the problem in Houston is that the 23 community and school-based centers that make up the city's safety net providers is overburdened, with the number of those uninsured within the city four times greater than the 300,000 patients the safety net providers are equipped to serve. Further compounding the issue is the reluctance on the part of providers to accept patients with Medicaid coverage. According to the Texas Medical Association, only one-third of physicians accepting new patients in 2012 were willing to take those with Medicaid, compared to 42% in 2010. Agencies like Dan Abrams Health Insurance Service play an integral role in helping California residents remain insured with various types of coverage including Anthem Blue Cross plans.

Dan Abrams Health Insurance Service offers a broad range of Anthem Blue Cross plans including:

* POS
* View Vision
* Healthy Check
* Dental
