Based on the results from last week’s U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts, the future of health reform legislation is increasingly unclear. While the debate continues, those who have delayed getting health insurance while waiting for a government solution may be leaving themselves open to serious risks. To address this, eHealthInsurance today released a list of five reasons why holding off on health insurance can be risky, and also provided a list of helpful resources for the uninsured.

Today eHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: EHTH) released a new comparison of subsidized individual COBRA premiums and non-group health insurance premiums for individuals using data derived from eHealth's December 2009 Cost and Benefits Report(1) and a Families USA Foundation report released in January 2009. The data in the eHealth (www.ehealthinsurance.com) report, when compared to COBRA subsidy data released by Families USA on January 9, 2009, show that the average individual premium of $161 is twenty-five dollars ($25) more expensive than the average subsidized COBRA premium of $136, and $227 less than the average unsubsidized COBRA premium of $388.

The data identifies the average premiums for non-group family health insurance plans in 46 states and the District of Columbia. All policies surveyed were purchased through an online marketplace, eHealthInsurance.com (http://www.ehealthinsurance.com)

The objective of this report is to provide a nationwide perspective on cost and benefit trends in the individual health insurance market, based on an analysis of a large, geographically distributed sample of eHealthInsurance purchasers and products. The first Cost and Benefits of Individual Health Insurance Plans report was issued by eHealthInsurance in 2001. Licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, eHealthInsurance is one of the few organizations with national source data that can best reflect consumer buying patterns and purchase prices in the non-group health insurance market.
