Press Release Body = The rising cost of health care and lack of health insurance
spell disaster for millions of American families. According to the U S Census
Bureau, 45.5 million Americans have no health insurance. This is the highest level
in nearly ten years. This figure represents an increase of 6 million uninsured
people in the United States since the year 2000. There are several reasons for the
increase in uninsured individuals. Higher unemployment rates have resulted in a loss
of benefits for many families. Increased costs have resulted in small businesses
choosing not to offer benefits. American employees are experiencing the lowest level
of employer based insurance in well over a decade. For others, the rising costs of
employers heath plans, larger deductibles and higher co payments have resulted in
people being unable to afford to participate, even when the employer does offer
benefits.

The lack of the availability of health insurance results in fragmented and
inadequate health care. The rising costs of health care make it impossible for
millions to afford to visit the doctor when they are ill. This results in needless
death for tens of thousands of Americans every year.

In response to the rising costs of health care, many companies are beginning to
engage in Consumer Driven Health Care. Under this system, employees have personal
health accounts known as Medical Savings Accounts. Medical expenses are paid from
this account. A benefit of this method is that you and your doctor make decisions
regarding your health care and treatment, not an insurance company or HMO.

There are affordable options for individuals and families without medical insurance.
AmeriPlan is an affordable discount medical plan that offers savings of between 25
and 80% on a wide range of health care services, such as doctor's visits, hospital,
ancillary care, dental, vision, prescription and chiropractic care.

This discount medical plan offers savings of 50% or more on doctor's visits. There
is no waiting period or deductible and discounts may be enjoyed as soon as benefit
cards are received. No pre authorization is needed for medical treatments or
testing. You and your doctor make all the decisions regarding your treatment, not an
insurance company. Discount rates are available for visits to a general practitioner
or specialist. Members may use any participating doctor and may change physicians at
any time for any reason, without prior authorization. These features put the
individual in control of health care services.

AmeriPlan was founded in 1992 in response to the escalating health care costs
plaguing the country. AmeriPlan isn't health insurance, but a discount medical plan
that allows members to enjoy a significant reduction in health care costs through
participating doctors and medical facilities. For more information on specific
