Find Peace of Mind with Health Insurance in Oregon
Some people think health coverage in OR is just for times when you or a family member is critically ill or injured. In reality, a policy more than pays for itself when you take into consideration that regular, preventative medical attention can help keep you from becoming very ill in the first place. A health plan also helps manage chronic conditions – and their costs – such as diabetes, arthritis and more.
With the advent of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, health coverage is more affordable and accessible than ever. Oregon is one of 18 states that administers a state-based exchange on the federal government’s health marketplace exchange through Oregon Health Authority, or OHA.
Oregonians who have protection can relax, knowing that in the event of an accident or an illness, their health plan is going to help them pay the bills. You and your family won’t have to do without when it comes to needing medical care. Don’t wait – enroll before the deadline.
