So Many Options
Recently my husband and I have had get insurance quote on auto insurance for our 16-year-old son. I must say that I was flabbergasted with their premium costs for a child under the age of 18. I was more perplexed to find that insurance is much more expensive for boys and a girl and I honestly don’t understand, because I know that I’m a much better driver than my husband is! As I was thinking about what the premium payments are going to cost us on a monthly basis I started thinking about insurance in general. There are so many different types of insurance that are available to consumers today that you could become overwhelmed with information overload. But some people are struggling just to make ends meet and get affordable health insurance coverage for their family there are others that are consumed with getting pet insurance for their favorite four-legged friend.
Trying to find affordable health care coverage is a big challenge for people today especially with the state of the economy the way it is. There are so many people who are out of work and don’t have healthcare coverage, the number is staggering. I often wonder what these people will do in the aftermath of an emergency. How will they be able to cover the cost of the medical bills that will start pouring in? My husband and I have been very fortunate with regard to health care coverage. We chose to have a health savings account which we pay into on a monthly basis and at the end of the 12 month period if we have not had any medical expenses we are eligible to receive that money back. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois is one of the many companies that offer this type of insurance coverage and it is made up being difference with how we view health insurance in general.
