With the current economic situation, Robert noticed that many individuals, both employed and unemployed, couldn’t afford basic medical insurance. Even those that were employed and had medical insurance are having a hard time paying the higher out of pocket deductibles many of their employers are now implementing. He also spoke to many small business owners that were troubled because they couldn’t afford to offer their employees any type of medical coverage. It was at that point when he developed the Direct Family Care membership program.
