Affordable, Unlimited Direct Primary Care Will Simplify How Manhattan Utilizes Healthcare

PR Newswire

MANHATTAN, N.Y., May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthcare2U's No-Claims Healthcare™ is now available in Manhattan. Brokers and employers interested in cost-containment healthcare strategies now have an innovative alternative to health insurance. Known as the eighth most expensive state for healthcare spending per capita as of 2014, New York spends 20 percent more than the national average on insurance. Healthcare2U's entrance into New York's most acclaimed community provides residents access to inventive Direct Primary Care that challenges New York's costly status-quo.

Redefining the delivery of Healthcare (PRNewsfoto/Healthcare2U)

"Manhattan residents are demanding cost-effective healthcare that doesn't involve insurance as a middle man," said Andy Bonner, CEO of Healthcare2U. "They deserve simplified, high-quality healthcare coverage and Healthcare2U can deliver just that at a monthly price that is less expensive than a monthly subscription to The Wall Street Journal. With Healthcare2U's membership-based model, members receive unlimited access to primary care they deserve, at a reasonable price."

Rather than dealing with the price tag and administration of traditional health insurance, Healthcare2U reduces costs through their Direct Primary Care claims-avoidant membership. This membership provides employees access to unlimited same-day/next-day doctor appointments for acute issues for a $10 visit fee, and access to telemedicine practitioners 24/7/365 for no additional charge. In addition to acute primary care, Healthcare2U offers chronic disease management for 13 of the most prevalent disease states such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma at the same $10 visit fee. Healthcare2U physicians also practice generic-first protocols to reduce pharmaceutical spend for employers and their employees.

"In addition to providing healthcare at an economical price, Healthcare2U establishes a trusting physician-patient connection," affirms Dr. John Rodriguez, Healthcare2U's Chief Medical Officer. "We pride ourselves in delivering a personalized experience where patients are the priority and are thoroughly cared for, physically and financially."

Healthcare2U's No-Claims Healthcare™ understands the inequitable demands traditional health insurance requires and provides opportunities to conserve finances while receiving health coverage that exceeds expectations.

Maryland Heights man pleads guilty in murder-for-hire death of his mom

Kim Bell, St. Louis Post-DispatchSt. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — Andrew C. Hubbard schemed with a cousin to give his mother laced drugs and cause an overdose so he could collect a $150,000 life insurance policy, prosecutors said in federal court Thursday.

The plan to lace crack cocaine with heroin or fentanyl didn't kill her, so the cousin shot the woman instead and dumped her body in a St. Louis alley, Hubbard admitted in U.S. District Court as he pleaded guilty.

Hubbard, 40, pleaded to murder-for-hire and conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire in connection with the death of his mother, Andreaia Worthem.

Worthem, 53, was shot in the chest, arm and face. Her body was found in the north alley in the 4400 block of Kennerly Avenue on the morning of July 7, 2023.

Others facing the same charges in connection with her death are the cousin, Eric Washington, 47, of Jennings; Justin R. Lee, 40, of Northwoods; and Hubbard's girlfriend, Kim Mosley, 33. Their cases are pending.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew A. Martin unveiled new details about the case as he read in court from a 14-page document.

Hubbard took out a life-insurance policy on his mother in 2019 and was the sole beneficiary.

His plan was to have Lee and Washington supply his mother with a "bad pack," crack cocaine laced with enough fentanyl to kill her, Martin said. Hubbard knew that his cousin had recently experienced a near-fatal overdose after ingesting drugs Lee had supplied.

In exchange, Washington would get $10,000, and Mosley would get $50,000, the prosecutor said.

Washington used Lee's phone to tell Hubbard, "It's done." Later, Hubbard asked if the "bad pack" caused a quick overdose. Washington admitted it didn't work, so he instead shot her, Martin said.

Mosley gave Washington $200 in exchange for the victim's cellphone, which was then destroyed, according to the plea agreement. Hubbard also gave Washington $450 cash and cocaine and marijuana, Martin said.

According to the plea agreement, Washington, impatient because he hadn't been paid the full $10,000, called Primerica, the insurance company, to ask when the policy would be paid.

Washington told the insurer that he had "done some work" for Hubbard and the insurance money would help cover what he is owed, the court document said.

When Hubbard found out Washington had made that call, he confronted his cousin and told him that it would lead the police to them.

The plea agreement didn't say whether Hubbard ever received the insurance money.

Hubbard, jailed in Illinois, lived in the 12200 block of Corrida Court in Maryland Heights.

U.S. District Judge Henry E. Autrey scheduled Hubbard's sentencing for Sept. 23.

Each charge is punishable by life in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Federal prosecutors already announced they would not seek the death penalty.
