Health insurance can protect you from astronomical costs when a serious accident or illness occurs.
Did you know that the average cost for a three-day hospital stay is $30,000? And a broken leg can cost up to $7,500. Health insurance helps protect you from unexpected costs like these.
From now until January 15th, you can purchase a plan or renew your coverage through Covered California, our state’s health insurance marketplace.
Coverage could be more affordable than you think. That’s because financial help is available. 9-in-10 people qualify for financial help – for most people in 2017, that meant they could find insurance premiums between $50 and $100 per month.
For details about available plans, please visit https://www.coveredca.com/ or call 1-800-300-1506.
