Health Insurance CA
One thing is for sure; health insurance rates vary greatly in the state of
California. But the state has some solid federal and state-funded health
programs to meet the needs of those who can’t afford a quality health insurance
plan.
Individual and family Plans
These policies are for those who are self-employed, are not covered by a group
plan through their job, are not fully covered by another plan, seek added
protection, and those who want to add items like dental and term life
insurance.Medi-Cal
This state-funded program offers a no-cost health care coverage plan for people
and families in need. Certain financial requirement s must be met. It is known
as the California Medicaid Program.
Healthy Families
This plan covers health care for children who come from families who struggle to
make ends meet but do not meet the financial requirement for Medi-Cal.
MRMIP
The California Major Risk Medical Insurance Program was designed to provide
health insurance coverage for high-risk residents who can’t otherwise be
insured.
AIM
This program was designed for infants and their mothers whose gross income is
too high to meet the requirements of the state-funded program. This service
helps women with prenatal care and well as post-pardon.
CMSP
While many residents aren’t approved for Medi-Cal, this program exists to
provide medical, dental and vision coverage to adults in rural areas who can’t
afford health insurance policies and aren’t covered through group plans.
Healthy You
Above all else, the best way to stay healthy is to practice healthy living. This
means staying on top of preventative care and taking care of your body. Eating
right, exercising, reducing stress factors in your life and avoiding certain
risks can help keep medical costs down for all California residents, regardless
of the type of health coverage you have.
