The COVID-19 pandemic has irrevocably altered many aspects of our lives, not least among them the landscape of health insurance. Recent data from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) indicates a notable decrease in the uninsured rate, dropping from 10.2% in 2021 to 9.6% in 2022. This shift, largely attributed to pandemic-era policies and an increased emphasis on affordable healthcare, underscores the vital role employers play in providing health insurance. In this evolving landscape, Fundamental Care®'s Level Funded Health Plan Options emerge as a beacon of support for employers and employees alike searching for post pandemic insurance.
Understanding the Post-Pandemic Insurance Trends
The KFF report illuminates key trends in the health insurance domain. Notably, the pandemic-era policies, including Medicaid expansion and enhanced Marketplace subsidies, have served as a safety net for many. For employers, understanding these shifts is crucial in making informed decisions about employee health benefits. Fundamental Care®’s health plans align seamlessly with these trends, offering accessible and comprehensive coverage.
The Importance of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans
Employer-sponsored health plans have always been a cornerstone of American healthcare. In 2022, employer coverage accounted for a significant portion of the insurance uptick. Fundamental Care® tailors these plans to both small and large employers, ensuring a perfect fit for different organizational needs. Our plans are designed to be not only comprehensive but also cost-effective, addressing the primary concern of high insurance costs that keep many uninsured.

Impact on Employee Health and Financial Stability
The KFF report highlights the financial and health ramifications of being uninsured. Uninsured individuals often face unaffordable medical bills and are more likely to delay or forgo necessary medical care. By offering comprehensive yet affordable health insurance, Fundamental Care® directly addresses these challenges. Our plans are designed to ensure that employees are not just insured, but also have access to the care they need without the looming fear of financial hardship.
