Cinergy Health Commentary on House Healthcare Bill

Leading Provider of Affordable Health Insurance Urges Legislation to Focus on
Rising Healthcare Costs and Prevention

AVENTURA, Fla., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Cinergy Health, a nationwide provider
of guaranteed issue health insurance benefit programs for the consumer market,
expressed its concern for the house healthcare bill that passed Saturday,
November 7th.

"While the house healthcare bill is far from perfect, it is at least a step
towards expanding access to affordable health coverage for all Americans,"
said Daniel Touizer, CEO of Cinergy Health. "Unfortunately, the House
healthcare bill is radically off the mark from what meaningful health reform
needs to address. While it contains elements of an effective healthcare reform
bill such as emphasis on prevention and healthcare affordability, it fails to
tackle the roots of rising healthcare costs," Touizer said.

"We hope to see more compromises throughout the legislative process as the
final bill is crafted to support promoting healthier lifestyles at home and in
the workplace, allowing Americans to buy insurance across state lines and
reducing the costs for pharmaceuticals and hospital-based care," Touizer said.

Cinergy Health offers unique, affordable alternatives to exorbitant insurance
premiums for individuals and families, regardless of income or health
condition. Plans are designed to encourage people to seek care when needed,
not to delay or deter them such that their condition could worsen.
