PITTSBURGH – UPMC Health Plan is introducing eight new affordable health care coverage plans for individuals that provide 100 percent coverage on preventive care, health savings account options, and more. Pricing for this comprehensive coverage is as low as $2.46 a day.
The eight new plans – known collectively as UPMC Individual Advantage – can be purchased directly and provide varying levels of deductibles, cost and coverage, and enable persons to choose the option that best meets their own and their families' health care needs.
Anyone can simply visit the website to review options using an easy plan selector tool and then receive a free, no obligation quote in minutes. Information and personalized service is also available by phone.
All Individual Advantage members will have pharmacy coverage. On the Health Savings Account (HSA) option, preventive medications are not subject to the deductible.

Each plan design has unique benefits, and copayment levels vary with plan design. Options include a $0 deductible plan, and there are tax advantages for members who choose a plan that can be paired with an HSA.
Members will have access to over 90 hospitals and facilities and more than 9,800 physicians in the UPMC Health Plan Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) network.
Individual Advantage also includes LifeSolutions, a work, life and wellness program that provides online access to tools and information relating to child and elder-care needs, family advice, and other day-to-day needs.

Planned Parenthood Pushes Bill Forcing Mandatory Abortion ...
Planned Parenthood and other abortion industry allies like NARAL are rallying behind a new Washington State bill that would require health insurance coverage for abortion if a health plan covers maternity care.
This act will force everyone, include those with pro-life values, to purchase an insurance plan that pays for elective abortion if they want an insurance plan that contains maternity coverage. Those interested in an insurance plan without abortion coverage would be banned from having their plan cover maternity care.
NARAL Pro-Choice Washington is also backing the mandated abortion coverage proposal and says that they have “mobilized its statewide network of members and activists to call and email their legislators in support of the Reproductive Parity Act”.
Dan Kennedy, CEO of Human Life of Washington, said to the Seattle Times that “to mandate that we violate our conscience is tyranny.”
How interesting! I wonder if the bill they’re supporting is REALLY about reproductive parity? So, if a health insurance plan provides maternity care, it must also support abortion? But if the health plan voluntarily offers abortion coverage, does it also have to offer maternity care? I have a sneaking suspicion that these things are not really equal. When the so-called “pro-choice” people push something, it’s always tilted towards abortion and tends to screw and back stab those who want to give birth. Eventually they’ll want to force no maternity care in the health insurance, but it will be illegal not to include abortion. The idea will be to force abortion with even more economic pressure than pregnant women face now. I don’t trust these pro-aborts.Â
Keep in mind that legal does not equal right. Slavery and killing Jews and others were legal not that long ago. Killing babies is legal now does that make it right? We know better.
