With all the media surrounding health care reform lately it has left quite a few seniors confused at to the benefits they have and if or when they should be using these health benefits. What the older and yes wiser population needs to know is that they do have health care options and no matter what government politics are claiming to the media the fact remains that the health benefits of seniors should not be put on hold.
Seniors with the help of a health advocate will get to know their health care options. At Social Service Coordinators they advocate on behalf of large health care companies by assisting the members through the application process for those programs they qualify for, including the completions of any required applications. SSC also educates the member on any required annual or periodic recertification procedures that may be required.
With continued financial woes in America is Obama’s Health Reform a good idea? If you advocate health care then you know that a “free” health care will never be successful but only place more taxes on the people and those who can not afford much will eventually go bankrupt. However there is something to be said about everyone having the opportunity to receive quality health care.
At Social Service Coordinators you don’t have to wait for Obama’s health reform to be recognized by states, states whom in their own right are as confused as to what the rules and kinds of services need to covered and offered to the public. With SSC you can talk with a health advocate today, for free, who will do an interview to determine what, if any, social programs you may qualify for, and educate you on the application process from those programs, including the completion of any required applications, and coordinate any required annual or periodic recertification procedures that may be required by the program sponsors.
There have been some states with which the health reform movement is at a stand still, they claim they can’t move forward until the government issues more rules to clarify exactly what kinds of services need to covered, while many other states claim they have too many rules, so much so that these rules have clogged the of health care system into a sort of lock and hold, and don’t know how to move forward. This kind-of “wait and see” attitude that states are taking up has left its citizens wondering if their benefits are also on hold.
A recent survey by the Society for Human Resource Management has found that workers financial issues and worries are not staying with them at home but are coming to work and a affecting their performance on the job. The HR society also claims that while workers are slacking on their work at place of employment they had personal stress issues which are resulting in more sick days. These findings are somewhat ironic based on the fact that when a person(s) is having financial trouble one of the first things cut out is health insurance. “More than a third (35 percent) said that medical expenses are a major concern for employees at their places of work,” HR reports.
If you are low-income not all has to be lost, with Social Service Coordinators Golden Touch program, members get social service education and advocacy services that help them gain a greater understanding of what public or private benefits and services are available to them. Golden Touch is a comprehensive program that includes a “Social Service CheckUp” to screen for eligibility for programs such as energy or telephone assistance, transportation and nutrition, to name a few.
