Affordable Health Insurance for You

Health insurance is a huge expense.

Last year when we reviewed the health plan options, we found out that premiums were going up. again.

No surprise there, but the amount did catch us off guard.

If we were to stay with the ‘basic’ family plan we had, our monthly premiums would be almost the same as our mortgage payment!

That seemed ridiculous.

In this episode we discuss:

Tips for How to Save on Health Insurance

By Leave a Comment

Do you feel like your health care costs have exploded? Get the tips you need and learn how you can save money on your health insurance!

Working to Lower Healthcare Costs

I remember not too long ago, it used to be that the three biggest expenses we had were rent, food, and the car.

We then paid off the car loan early and now avoid loans on them. We worked hard and were grateful to get a good deal on our mortgage on this current house.

Food, well it’s food. We’re smarter about what we spend.

But there is one expense that has shot up since we got married and I’m almost sure you have seen it explode as well – health insurance.

Though we have had some wins dealing with insurance, Michael Dinich is here to offer his expertise. He’s a financial Advisor who helps hardworking people get the retirement they deserve.

Part of that includes making sure they’re getting good deals with health insurance.

In today’s episode we get into:

  • the trend of shifting costs from the insurance companies to us
  • how to decide if those high deductible plans are really a good deal
  • getting the coverage you need at a more affordable price

Hope you enjoy!
