I can afford it,
But I don’t want it.
I’m 18-29 years old and
I want it my way!
I’m in between jobs
and only temporarily
uninsured.
I know what’s
best for me. No one
should tell me to buy
insurance.
I work hard & still
don’t have insurance for
my family.

6. Darnell's Story
Single guy living in a modest apartment.
Keeping living expenses low - cut back on groceries and walks to
work as much as possible to save money.
Has back pain, but can’t afford the $900 for an MRI he doesn’t think
he needs. Thinks a new mattress will do the job.
It’s been 5.5 years since he’s been examined by a physician.
Non smoker that drinks occasionally and plays recreational sports
to stay fit.
Doesn’t’understand why the government is requiring him to buy
health insurance he doesn’t think he needs.
“I’m young. I’m healthy. I realize I’m taking chances by not having
health insurance, but that’s my choice. I know what’s best for me”.

7. Maria’s Story
Busy home life, spending time with her family and at Mama’s house
for family dinners.
Struggles with diabetes, and family is very involved in her care.
Mama feeds her lots of soup which is an old family remedy.
Husband works long hours laying cable at his telecom job, but hasn’t
had a raise in a few years. He has survived layoffs but doesn’t get
insurance benefits.
Both work but their employers don’t offer health insurance
Dreams of having health insurance for her kids, and for her so that
she can get care from a specialist rather then the local free clinic.
Has gotten used to waiting a long time to see a doctor and get her
medicine and sometimes has to choose between her medicine and
buying gas for her husband to get to work.
Her family matters the most.

8. Josh’s Story
An athlete in college, he still maintains a healthy and fit lifestyle
working out and mountain biking with his girlfriend.
Planning on getting married some day but for now wants to
travel and save money to buy a house.
His company offers insurance but he feels that he can spend his
money more wisely somewhere else so he “opted out”.
Health insurance isn’t high on his priority list. He’s young,
strong, and healthy and places priority on other financial needs
and wants.
He doesn’t understand the real cost of medical care because his
parents have always supplied health insurance for him.
Recognizes that he will need it later when he starts a family.
Would consider a plan that just covered what he needed like
dental or serious injury at a good price… just to be safe.

Hasn’t had health insurance since her husband was laid off.
Her family has always been covered by health insurance. This is
the first time she’s had to deal with finding healthcare services
without it.
Works for herself. Her salary is not enough to support their family.
Buying independent/individual insurance is impossible. They’re
denied based on pre-existing conditions.
Pays out-of-pocket for medical expenses. They need healthcare
services but are holding off until they can afford it.
Can’t imagine having to go to the local clinic for care.
Wants a plan to fit her family’s healthcare needs and budget
Advocate of the healthcare system and is willing to pay extra for
great coverage.

11. How can insurers create value that exceeds their expectations?
Market regulation likely to limit the choices health plans can offer
But consumers want personalized benefits, access, and service
Choice, complexity, and cost are their main concern
Seeking is peace of mind
They will drive transformation, demanding new
products and services currently unavailable
The uninsured are BRAND NEUTRAL
Education is key to helping them translate
their concern into action

Earning Their Confidence
The uninsured will reward
companies that find
innovative ways to make
healthcare more affordable
while personalizing
products and services
