Consumers may be solicited for ‘health insurance’ plans that are not real insurance plans at all. This could leave consumers responsible for unexpected medical bills or without any access to healthcare.

Es posible que los consumidores reciban ofertas de planes de "seguro médico" que, en realidad, no son verdaderos seguros de salud. Esto podría dejar a los consumidores como responsables de facturas médicas inesperadas o sin acceso alguno a la atención médica.
