Jared Polis for Congress

Jared has an op-ed in the Rocky Mountain News today about how his health plan stresses prevention:

Generally, patients without insurance have little access to preventive care and are treated for everything from acute conditions to the flu in the most expensive way possible – in emergency rooms and hospitals that pass the costs onto insured consumers. It would be less expensive and more successful if patients were diagnosed and treated earlier.

Under my plan, supplemental or “gap” insurance would also exist, just as many Americans on Medicare today also have additional insurance in place. Many companies would offer additional coverage to attract and retain their employees, but, at the very least, every American would have a basic level of portable coverage including preventive care and catastrophic care.
