Health insurance is at the forefront of most American’s thoughts these days, and some are out to take advantage of that. A new report byFamilies USA, a consumer advocacy group, takes a look at some of these phony insurance “associations”, and exposes these scams.
The document, “Buyer Beware: Unlicensed Insurance Plans Prey on Health Care Consumers”, explains that “people mistakenly think they will get a better deal if they purchase coverage offered through an association.” Uneven oversight of coverage by states exacerbates the problem, the report says.
