Discount healthcare?
Miami Herald, December 1, 2008
With growing numbers of people looking for healthcare solutions in tough economic times, insurers are starting to offer low-cost options for those who can't afford full insurance. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida recently entered the discount card market. The program boasts it can offer discounts of 5% to 40% for those providers who take the card. Blue Cross, as well as several others, also now offer limited-benefit insurance, which generally helps pay for routine medical care but not for catastrophic problems.
