"Care Access is the first realistic, accessible alternative for the uninsured," says company president Gerald B. Sternstein. "With monthly premiums beginning at $55, we're a viable entry point to healthcare coverage for a large segment of the uninsured population. We are a significant asset for the small business owner who can't find affordable healthcare coverage.

"We want the people who typically fall through the net and do not have any options, to have a chance to access the coverage they deserve, and to take control of their health," added Sternstein.
