With the recent recession that has hit United States of America; the economy is in turmoil and is expected to get even worse over the time.
The recent collapse of conglomerates in the banking and insurance sectors came as an unprecedented astonishment to the world.
Economists feel that amendments in the country's economy would be possible over a certain period of time and immediate recovery from these circumstances cannot be promised at the moment.
The effect of recession is, however, anticipated to hit the common people at the earliest.
Amidst these conditions, consumers are worried, concerned and undecided about their economic condition.
In fact, they are more worried about their daily needs and health.
According to a ballpark figure, it is expected that 146 million US consumers would be affected and the number is expected to grow even more, considering the fact that there are numerous other sectors which would be directly affected by the tumbling of the banking and insurance sectors.
The result would be very high because majority of the people are not financially prepared to face the situation.
The worst affected in the current scenario would be healthcare and insurance sectors because of the various constraints that have been prevalent over the period of time.
With at least 46 million uninsured and underinsured people, it is important to safeguard the health as the present day healthcare situation is not accessible to many.
In this highly complex situation, it is important to understand the market and choose an option that properly addresses healthcare concerns.
Some companies in this regard are providing substantial plans that reduce healthcare costs to a great extent.
These plans provide huge discounts on the medical care and provide a sigh of relief to the consumers.
