It seems that the passage of health reform has barely been put in force, but a new wave of scammers are out to play upon the media attention and misinformation. This article has nothing to do with health reform, but with health insurance scams to be wary of.

Some Health Care Plans To Be Wary Of
If you get a call suggesting that somebody is working for the government or "Obamacare", and wants to talk to you about your health insurance benefits be vary wary. Some shady salespeople have used these buzzwords as a way to get in the door.
If you see a TV advertisement (I have) or something similar, suggesting that an inexpensive health plan has something to do with health reform, beware! There should not be anything like that out there yet. A lot of these are health discount plans, and they are not true health insurance from major insurers. Before you buy anything, and especially before you cancel any existing health insurance,make sure you know something about the company you are buying from!

By the way, just because I associated President Obama's name with these scams, does not mean I'm not a fan. Change is painful sometimes. I just want consumers to be aware that people are using our President's name and the notion of health reform to mislead unwary consumers.
