Manatt Health managing director Joel Ario spoke with U.S. News & World Report about the importance of health insurance during the current COVID-19 pandemic. In the article, Ario highlights that getting insured offers both individual and social benefits, especially during the current crisis, saying “one [benefit] is that it could be a lifesaving matter for vulnerable individuals who are nervous about going for and affording a test or who may need hospitalization or treatment they can’t afford.” He also notes that having coverage also helps the healthcare system run as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
