Fort Wayne, IN (prHWY.com) July 6, 2012 - Fort Wayne, Indiana - Houston, Texas is facing a massive problem in regard to servicing residents who are uninsured. Considering that the metropolitan area has one of the highest rates of uninsured residents in the United States, with one in three lacking affordable health insurance coverage, it seems inevitable that demand would outweigh supply. Many uninsured residents find themselves turned away from facilities offering free services, and the overwhelming demand forces the county hospital district's call center to turn away about 400 people every single day. In theory, the 23 community and school-based centers offering services to those without affordable health insurance seem strong in number, but this network's service capacity of 300,000 patients is surpassed four times by the number of those seeking health care from these providers.

Medicaid has presented its own set of problems to Houston's uninsured population. Health care providers in the metropolitan area have demonstrated reluctance in regard to accepting Medicaid patients. The Texas Medical Association reported that one-third of physicians were willing to accept new patients in 2012, whereas 42% took on patients with Medicaid coverage in 2010. Fortunately, a number of agencies across the United States offer affordable health insurance coverage.

Companies like PMG Agency make it possible for people at all income levels to select affordable health insurance plans from a variety of carriers, playing an integral role in helping the population remain insured regardless of circumstances. The coverage options the agency offers include:

* Individual Plans
* Family Plans
* Group Plans
