Safety Net Health Care Providers Cannot Keep Up With Demand
California Health Insurance works with only the most reputable health insurance carriers, so you can be sure the insurance and quotes you receive are low cost, yet high quality.
(prHWY.com) July 5, 2012 - Laguna Niguel, CA -- Laguna Niguel, California - 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 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 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 solution does exist with a number of health insurance agencies across the United States.

Companies like California Health Insurance make it possible for California residents to select health insurance coverage from a variety of carriers, playing an integral role in helping residents remain insured regardless of circumstances. The coverage options the agency offers include:

* Individual Health Insurance
* Family Health Insurance
* Short-term Health Insurance

* Dental Insurance
* Life Insurance
