The $29 "health coverage" that isn't insurance⚠ NOT INSURANCE
A real scam people fell for this year, next to the real thing. The numbers mark the three things to check: hover or tap one to see what it tells you.
Health insurance for you and your family. $3,500 deductible, then most doctor visits are a $40 copay.
Your price after the tax credit you qualify for:
$212 / month
Prices depend on your age, ZIP code and income.
Save up to 80% on doctor visits, surgery and hospital stays. Everyone is accepted, no medical questions.
Coverage starts tomorrow.
*FamilyShield is a medical discount plan. This plan is not insurance.
Always check the small print.
It sells "health coverage" for $29 a month, and the small print says it is not insurance. It is a discount card: it won't pay a hospital bill, and you find out when you need it.
hioscar.com is Oscar, a licensed health insurer.
familyshield-health.com is a company that sells discount cards.
It asks you to apply for a real insurance plan, with the deductible and copay spelled out.

No rush. It says the price depends on your age, ZIP code and income.
80% off surgery, everyone accepted, no questions, "coverage starts tomorrow".
