Ryan's Vouchers Purchase a Private Insurance Plan

Example of the Ryan Voucher (Coupon) Program trying to purchase an actual Private Insurance Program from a State Managed Plan.

Who is the Health Reinsurance Association (HRA)?

The Connecticut Health Care Act of 1975 created the Health Reinsurance Association (HRA) to make available to eligible individuals in Connecticut a comprehensive health care plan designed to help meet medical costs of non-occupational injuries and diseases.

HRA is a non-profit association comprised of all private insurance companies and PPOs that provide health insurance in Connecticut.

Rates for the PPO Plan Follow:


60-64 year old male health insurance costs $1,829.01 a month times 12 months or $21,948.12 a year. If the Paul Ryan Budget in the "Path to Prosperity" Medicare voucher or coupon pays the equivalent of $15,000 a year. The citizen is short a minimum of $6,948.12 each year for the rest of his life. (If the Medicare voucher or coupon is equivalent of $11,000 then the citizen is short $10,948.12 each year for the rest of his life. )

Add his annual deductible of $1,500 to his voucher deficiency and he is now out of pocket at least $8,448.12 per year each year for the rest of his life. (If the Medicare voucher or coupon is equivalent of $11,000 then the citizen is short $12,448.12 each year for the rest of his life). Remember that this plan only covers 80% of in-network charges. So your also out of pocket for 20% of every charge above and beyond your annual deductible.

There is a 12 month waiting period for preexisting conditions.
