Short Cuts for Individuals and Families
For Individuals and Families paying for their own plan it is important not to wait until you have a medical condition before you purchase health insurance. Once you have a medical condition, even a minor one, as inhuman as it seems, the health insurance companies can turn you down and refuse to provide any coverage.
If you recently have had group coverage from a previous employer, you have 63 days after the end of your group plan to pick up an individual plan and not be subject to medical underwriting.
Since age rating is the only option, the younger you are the more affordable the health plans are. The older you are the more the premium costs go up. Young families may actually be able to afford more coverage to protect their children and older individuals who are healthy can find plans that provide good access to routine physicals, unlimited sick visits and prescription drug coverage and carry a larger deductible for the less likely to occur inpatient admissions.

The Immoral Practice of Pre-Existing Conditions Underwriting and Individual Health Insurance
NASRO believes strongly that the fast growing number of individuals who need a health insurance plan in New Hampshire should be provided the right to buy the same health insurance plans for the same price, as anyone else, with their own money. We believe it is a sin for health insurance companies to " play God " with the lives of people. Turning down people with any form of illness large or small is severely limiting their economic lives.
Help with some COBRA premium costs provided in the recent "stimulus bill ", is great for people who work for large employers, but most people do not work for large employers. Unemployment could rise reach 15% in New Hampshire by the end of 2009 and prudent financial planning needs to be made now.
NASRO does not yet have a group plan in New Hampshire that will accept individuals that have been turned down for coverage. We are working for a new National Health Care law to accomplish this mission. In the meantime, we will assist any self employed person in New Hampshire that needs to know how to qualify for group coverage right now.

What People Are Saying About Us!
" I have nothing but praise for the good folks at NASRO ( National Association of Socially Responsible Organizations ). If you've ever dealt with insurance providers, you know that the usual goal of the person who answers the phone is to say " no " and hang up as quickly as possible. My experience with Barbara Gibson at NASRO could not have been more different.
She actually did the math on whether it would be better for me to stick with COBRA for 18 months before switching to the NASRO plan. The one time I actually had a problem with coverage for a medical condition, she not only straightened it out, but remembered to ask me if I was feeling better after the procedure.
Deborah Elizabeth Finn
P. S. Full disclosure. NASRO does not compensate me in any way for praising it immoderately. I am just a fan."

New Hampshire Health Care Trends for 2009
Concord: In any recession a number of difficult health care trends start to emerge that are fairly self evident. What needs to be watched out for is how deep this recession will go,that is beyond the experiences of our recent past. Predictions by the Economic Policy Institute for example, call for planning for unemployment rising as high as 15% over the next two years. Because of the compounding of the loss of jobs, with housing foreclosures, loss of home equity and retirement savings that is being experienced at the same time, the following trends are likely.
- Unemployed people lose their health insurance
- State health programs developed during the good times start to disappear during the bad times
- The Hospital emergency room becomes extremely busy as they along with the Community Health Centers become the health care provider of last resort for people without coverage.
- Public Hospitals treatment for surgical procedures also becomes very busy and waits for surgery occur.
Educate Yourself
NASRO's mission in health care particularly concerns the situation facing small businesses, non-profits, individuals, self employed people and independent contractors.
Please read this excellent resource developed by the New Hampshire Health Care Foundation and call NASRO at 800-638-8113 with any questions and for a rate proposal on the health plans you are interested in looking at.
Developing the Right Criteria For Selecting Your Next Health Plan
Right now in New Hampshire if you are an individual who has a pre-existing medical condition and you are middle income the plans available for so called high risk people are beyond the financial reach of many people. If you are high income and have pre existing conditions you will be able to find a plan that you can afford. For the insurance industry to deny New Hampshirens who are sick access to health insurance is a sin. Other states have provided coverage for 20 years and their insurance companies are doing well.
The size of the population of individuals in New Hampshire is huge, with many hundreds of thousands of new people moving from being covered by an employer to being responsible for their own health plan throughout any year.
