Health Insurance Consumer Information

“Employers that offer good coverage by and large will pay the lion’s share of the premiums on your behalf,” says health insurance expert Karen Pollitz of Georgetown University. “You’re probably not going to find a better deal than that.”

Professor Pollitz was quoted in the June 22nd article “What to Do When Your Health Insurance Runs Out,” in The Washington Post, by Leah Ariniello.
