100 Points Total (75 for paper/25 for Discussion)

You will write an 8 page DETAILED paper on choosing a health insurance plan that meets the needs of family/situation of your choice that must include 2+ people and one or more chronic diseases. You can include, occupation, income, living situation etc. as all of this influences choosing a healthcare plan-no more than 2 pages outlining this.

The remainder must be the compare and contrast of the below information. Throughout the paper you will outline the needs of the family and what is important to you in the chosen health plan. You will then compare and contrast the capabilities, the copayments, deductibles, physician services etc. between 5 health plans (Aetna, Blue Cross, Kaiser, UnitedHealth, HMO, PPO, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Medicaid plans (aka Molina, IEP etc.) & Medicare (if eligible) etc. –it doesn’t have to be just these, these are examples ). Out of those 5 plans you will then choose and defend your reasoning for the choice you make for your family based on health need, finance etc. You will compare the charges, copays, restrictions etc.

Again, the details of your family and situation should be no more than 2 pages. The remaining should be devoted to the compare and contrast of the plans and how it meets or does not meet your needs.

The 8 pages does not include cover page or works cited.
