The current version of health care reform legislation is so roiled in controversy that it’s not clear it will be passed any time soon. However, if it is passed, one of its most controversial aspects – mandatory purchase of health insurance – will become law. For many people, this new requirement is considered to be a violation of their civil rights. Health insurance rates have been rising and health care spending is not expected to slow down anytime soon.

America’s current health care system is the most expensive in the world, even while millions (between 30 and 46, according to the Office of Management and Budget) of citizens have no health insurance.

Insurance policies promising to pay an income when customers fall ill or have an accident are failing to meet claims for even for the most basic serious injuries, including two broken arms or even blindness.

Research by Alan Lakey, a leading independent expert at Highclere Financial Services in Hertfordshire, found that policies sold in their thousands each year by many of the UK’s biggest insurers – including Axa, Bupa, Aviva, Scottish Equitable and even Prudential – vary greatly in their terms.

The result is widespread confusion among consumers about what income protection insurance or permanent health insurance actually is, as well as what it delivers.
