Why would a Health Insurance video be banned from Facebook?




 

Hey, it’s The Suzie @ Wenatchee Insurance,  working with the Washington Healthplanfinder. We have had an office on Wenatchee Avenue for over six years now. We assist people navigate, understand, and enroll in Health, Life, Medicare Insurance to name a few. There is eleven enrollment centers spread throughout the state to assist folks.


We help everyone that walks through our door or gives us a call. It is however getting tougher to reach folks. Here is the banned video on Facebook.




Vivian was a friend of a friend that needed assistance and we were able to help out. Community is really about people helping people without judgement. 

Unfortunately, we live in a politically charged world so getting the information out to the people that need it is not always easy. Every year, it gets tougher to spread the word about help being available. This year, we had to register for the first time as a Health Insurer to be able to do outreach on Google. That’s correct, we have to register and spend monthly to be able to even consider promoting Insurance on their platform.

Did you know that the average person in Chelan and Okanogan Counties is paying less than $100 a month for a plan on the Washington Healthplanfinder?

This is not a new development. Newspapers refuse to talk about enrollment periods because a President they didn't like. We are up to nearly half the people enrolled in a health plan in Central Washington use the Washington Healthplanfinder yet not many of the “news” sources will talk about enrollment or improvements to the system. We are fortunate when we find media that will work with us. 




The number one reason that people did not get health insurance was because they thought they couldn’t afford it despite never getting a quote. Seriously 36% of the people never even tried because not enough people talked about the positive changes that have been made. If someone doesn't have health insurance then who do you end up paying twice. Once at your providers office to help the doctors cover their bills and then again with higher taxes to pay off the unpaid bills. 

Healthcare evolves in what people call it. When it started, we had people ask for Obamacare. It eventually changed to Trumpcare and last week we got our first customer asking for Bidencare. We even get calls for AppleCare, Apple Health, Medicaid, Medical Plans, Catastrophic coverage. It is something that when you need it, it better be there. 

The American Rescue Plan Act was passed back in March and it changed Healthcare for the better again. It is not surprising that not many people are talking about it despite 1.2 million people enrolling in a health plan that costs $10 or less. Yes, about a third of the current plans being sold are for $10 or less. In Washington state they hover around a dollar a month for a low. 




August 15th is the last day to catch the Special Enrollment for the American Rescue Plan. Do not hesitate to share that there is help out there and get some assistance in understanding your options.

The gig economy and life insurance

It takes minutes Temporary work, contract jobs, seasonal jobs, freelance, piece work, driving for Uber, selling on Etsy, etc. The gig economy has been around for ever. Whether it is picking apples for the season, working the slopes at mission ridge, to being a contractor at a server farm it is easy to fall into a gig career path.
