Finally, an affordable individual health plan offered locally
Pat Strittmater was tired of her healthcare premiums increasing. So when her monthly
bill went up $200 in one month’s time, she knew it was time for a change.
“I’m a healthy person,” said Pat. “I bike, golf, walk, and I eat healthy. It was
really frustrating to be paying so much and not be happy with my coverage.”
Pat needed an individual plan, and “there just weren’t any good options out there,
” she said.
So when she learned of the new Premier One individual plan, “I was thrilled!”
Health Tradition Health Plan’s new Premier One plan is designed for individuals like
Pat who need a quality healthcare plan with flexibility – young retirees, self-employed
individuals and small businesses, college students/graduates, and those who are between jobs.
