Effective July 26, 2011, United Health Care announced that each member who earns less than $32,670 and who enrolls in a Healthy Texas plan may be eligible for an additional $100 reduction in their monthly premium. This is a great way to help these folks get affordable insurance through their Healthy Texas plans.. United Health Care states that they have a limited number of members they can support on a First come basis.
