Transcripts

Bob Hurley: I am Bob Hurley and I am with a company called eHealth Insurance and we have developed an internet website where individuals and families can come and learn about health insurance. They can compare health insurance plans from some of the leading health insurance companies in the country and then you can actually buy a health insurance right online using your credit card and electronic signature. In fact, eHealth Insurance was the innovator in allowing individuals and families and small business to actually come up to internet and use an electronic signature in order to get their health insurance and then in many cases, health insurance plans, applications that can be approved in 24 hours in a very short period of time because of that electronic signature. We were the originator of that technology. We are talking about topics in health insurance today and a very important topic and one close to my heart is health insurance for families. Many of us once we start to have our family and we have our children and they start to access care, the type of health insurance that we have for our family becomes very, very important to help us manage not our finances, but also to help us manage the care for all of our family members and so we are going to be talking some more about how families can learn more about their health insurance and get a good deal on their health insurance and certainly, get the plan or the health insurance that meets their needs best.
