Cinergy Health Commentary on House Healthcare Bill

AVENTURA, Fla., March 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Cinergy Health, a nationwide provider of health insurance benefit programs for the consumer market, expressed its concern for the house healthcare bill that passed Sunday, March 21st.

"The most meaningful and reasonable change taking place is the expansion of Medicaid coverage for people with lower income. This segment of America has been neglected for far too long in a country that has the means to support its citizens" said Steve Trattner Chief Marketing Officer of Cinergy Health.

"Many of the other changes, however, circumnavigate what is needed for managing healthcare costs, and instead focus on artificial cost control measures related to insurance programs. Consequently we will experience significant multi-year increases in both insurance premiums and the taxes to support reform," said Trattner.  

"The republicans put forth some innovative proposals to reign in costs, such as the option to purchase more affordable insurance out of state, but which were entirely disregarded by the House and the Administration," said Trattner.  

Cinergy Health looks forward to continuing to be a reliable national provider of affordable health insurance plans and will continue to adapt to the changes in the American healthcare system.
