10Just Make it Simple
- Consumers dread shopping for health insurance and

11What Consumers Say Affordability is the 1
reason consumers purchase Health Access
- I figured a little was better than nothing
Peace of mind would be the three words that
would cover what I want to accomplish. I know
that if I go into the doctor, I know the office
visit is covered. I dont have to worry about
going to the doctorIts peace of mind to have
the office visit paid for (Noel/58). - Its affordableand it gives you what you need
(Jolene/45). - For the small amount you spend, you get your
value, you get your moneys worth (Robert/39)
12What Consumers Say The process of signing up
for Health Access was not difficult.
- It was described as the good, better, best
plans, and you made a choice. I chose the middle
one, the most affordable for what I needed.
(Tracy/40) - He showed me the very basic to the middle of the
road and the Cadillac one. I chose the middle of
the road one, so I can be covered for doctor
visits-like if I get a cold, some kind of
prescription plan that covers at least something.
Something that covers hospital visits and basic
procedures. This plan will pay up to a certain
amount. I can deal with that. (Steven/37)
