Almost 37,000 consumers are left paying $6.3 million in monthly premiums for insurance plans with Simple Health Plans LLC. The Federal Trade Commission is working on permanently closing the company. However, until a federal judge keeps the company permanently closed, the consumers still need to pay. Simple Health has been shut down since October 31 when it was served a temporary restraining order. The FTC is accusing the health insurance company of running a huge scam that convinced thousands of consumers into thinking they were buying high quality health insurance policies. They were led to believe that the health insurance they were buying would cover things like hospital stays, visits to primary care physicians and specialists, and prescription drugs. In actuality, Simple Health LLC sold their consumers a package of discount plans and limited-benefit hospital coverage that only paid a maximum of $3,200 a year. Simple Health's co-founder Steven J Dorfman and his affiliated companies made more than $150 million since 2013.Almost 37,000 consumers are left paying $6.3 million in monthly premiums for insurance plans with Simple Health Plans LLC.
