- Good evening everyone ,
In the United States is really hard to keep the health insurance thru the job or private
because it is very expensive. Most of the people can not afford to paid an insurance
because of the price of the health insurance is very high from single plan to a family
plan for example if we want to buy a private insurance approximately the price is around
$350 or more is depend how much you make monthly thru your job that is the amount

amount of $350. The receptionist said or the insurance will not cover everything and we
need to charge that amount if you do not paid you can not have the procedure.

accessibility. Enabling anyone access to health insurance will provide opportunities and
