11
11 What Consumers Say … Affordability is the #1 reason consumers purchase Health Access I figured a little was better than nothing … Peace of mind would be the three words that would cover what I want to accomplish. I know that if I go into the doctor, I know the office visit is covered. I dont have to worry about going to the doctor…Its peace of mind to have the office visit paid for (Noel/58). Its affordable…and it gives you what you need (Jolene/45). For the small amount you spend, you get your value, you get your moneys worth (Robert/39)
12
12 What Consumers Say … The process of signing up for Health Access was not difficult. It was described as the good, better, best plans, and you made a choice. I chose the middle one, the most affordable for what I needed. (Tracy/40) He showed me the very basic to the middle of the road and the Cadillac one. I chose the middle of the road one, so I can be covered for doctor visits-like if I get a cold, some kind of prescription plan that covers at least something. Something that covers hospital visits and basic procedures. This plan will pay up to a certain amount. I can deal with that. (Steven/37)
