FHCE is a non-pro#t 501(c)3 organization with a mission to provide simpli#ed public and private health insurance information in order to help more people access coverage. We o!er a variety of health coverage resources to help consumers, health care professionals, employers, and the uninsured navigate the complex health insurance system.
"is directory of Matrices from all 50 states and the District of Columbia represents the entire health insurance system in our country. Di!erent states have di!erent approaches to insurance. Certainly California, with a population of 37 million, has di!erent needs than Idaho where approximately 1.5 million people reside.
"e FHCE views the uninsured as a humanitarian issue, as well as a public health issue. Proper education of the public could improve our country’s health and save our health care system billions of dollars in claims. We have the infrastructure and capacity to take care of everyone. "e U.S. has world class providers, hospitals and technology. We need to improve the administration, #nancing and distribution of publicly-funded programs, so that everyone who is eligible signs-up for health coverage. Together, we can lower the ranks of the uninsured.
