New eHealth Insurance Portal Highlights Need For Health Reform Legislation

To focus national attention on the issue of enrollment as a critical part of health reform legislation

eHealth, an online portal of health insurance for individuals, families and small businesses in US, has introduced Ready2Connect.org to focus national attention on the issue of enrollment as a critical part of health reform legislation.

A strategy for providing health insurance to uninsured Americans is critical, should universal access to coverage be granted or mandated by Congress, said eHealth.

Federal lawmakers are debating the idea of health insurance exchanges, online marketplaces for health insurance, how they should work and the function they should serve.

Gary Lauer, chairman and CEO of eHealth, said: It would be unacceptable to reform the health care system only to see years of delay on implementation, or worse, to see a process that’s confusing, inefficient or simply unsuccessful.
