\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As Health Care Reform takes effect, many are asking how and when they will obtain health insurance in the future.\u00a0 Blue Cross and Blue Shield<\/a> companies already offer low-cost health insurance options that you may be able to enroll in today. You can find coverage options through your local Blue Cross and Blue Shield company<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beginning in 2014, state health insurance exchanges will enable consumers to compare benefits, prices and networks of providers and purchase coverage.<\/p>\n

Prior to the establishment of state exchanges in 2014, a temporary high risk pool program will be created by the federal government to provide coverage to high-risk individuals who have not been covered during the prior 6-month period or do not have access to coverage, to purchase coverage. A majority of states already have high-risk pools for their residents.<\/p>\n
