Health insurance companies offer a wide array of products to
help individuals and their families access and afford the health care they need
while also providing financial protection when unexpected injury or illness
arise. More than 200 million Americans receive coverage from private health
plans from an employer, from the individual market or through government
partnerships. Health plans are actively driving innovations to improve quality
for patients and reduce the skyrocketing cost of health care. As the Affordable
Care Act takes effect, health plans are working to adapt quickly to minimize
disruptions across all markets so consumers can continue to have access to the
coverage that they count on.
