With the cost of living increasing at a rapid rate throughout the United States finding affordable health insurance is becoming increasingly and increasingly more difficult for families who are struggling to make ends meet. It is common for many of these parents to have recently been laid off or had hours reduced as many companies are beginning job cuts as well as cutting back hours in order to deal with the slowing economy. This type of behavior has been seen the most in Detroit, Michigan where Detroit’s “big three” automobile companies have began to deteriorate at a rapid rate causing thousands of jobs to be shut down, these three automakers have began to beg for government help when it comes to getting government loans in order to pay for the damage these companies have done to themselves. For many of the families who are feeling the repercussions of the economic downturn as a result of many of these plans cutting jobs, health insurance may be the last thing on their mind, but it shouldn’t be. Studies have shown that during difficult economic times people are more likely to engage in dangerous or risk-taking activities. It is during these times that it is most important for people to have affordable family insurance because not only will it help them save money at a time where people are desperate for every penny, but it will also give families some faith when it comes to someone being there to support them. Having affordable health insurance is almost a backbone to many families, it is the string that keeps them together because without it the risks that we take for granted in everyday life become much more of a threat. For people to know that they have the support of an insurance company backing them, and being there if something happens to your family.

What having affordable family insurance does for these people is give them almost a safety net of sorts, if you or someone in your family were to get sick or injured, having affordable family insurance will give people the opportunity to get healthy or get better by allowing families to be tested, vaccinated, screened, and taken care of by medical professionals who know what they are doing. This should not only give people peace of mind at such a trying economic time, but it should also give people the strength to get through this hard time. During primary voting done prior to the election it was a found and affordable family insurance is one of the biggest concerns of voters, with more than 46 million people being uninsured throughout the United States today. Some of these concerns have been alleviated since President-elect Barack Obama has been elected and has demanded mandatory health care for everyone in the United States in the next few years.
