Healthcare is a major issue at the moment with politicians debating the matter extensively ahead of the general election and people like you and me just wanting reassurance that we'll get medical attention when we need it. Many of us are concerned that we are not receiving the best treatment for our families and ourselves.

Cancer has now overtaken heart disease as the UK's biggest killer and current healthcare is struggling to keep up with the demands on treatment for the disease. Recognising that people are not being served effectively by the healthcare system or their private medical insurance, the organisation, YourHealth Plus have recently launched The Health Fund.

Nothing like The Health Fund exists in the UK. It is a unique way of mixing two very different types of financial product - a savings account and a form of insurance safety net alongside a health delivery mechanism that provides access to first class medical care for less cost.

People are in control of their own medical fund - they can decide to cover any condition they like - cancer, heart disease - no exclusions. The Health Fund differs from traditional PMI as there is no discrimination, no one will be excluded, pre-existing or chronic conditions can be covered and, unusually, funding for holistic treatments will be provided.

To find out more about how the health fund could help you and your family get the best treatment join Jo Clarke, CEO YourHealth Plus for a live webchat on Monday 21st March 2005 12:00 - 12:45.
