Cut Your Healthcare Costs

The Rising Cost of Healthcare

With Obama Care and the poor general health of the American public, healthcare spending is going through the roof. If you have a group Blog cartoon high cost of Obama careplan at work, you have seen your premiums rise, many times quite drastically, over the last three years. If you have private insurance and make a good income, you may no longer be able to afford health insurance. Now what happens? Your health insurance is killing your budget, or you no longer have health insurance. The cost of your healthcare is just too much now. I will discuss with you how to cut healthcare costs for you and your family.

How Can I Cut My Cost of Healthcare

There are several ways to cut your cost of healthcare. The obvious first and best answer is to immediately begin living a healthier lifestyle. I can say this because I have lived a fairly healthy lifestyle all my life. My reward is never being obese and never being sick, other than a cold. And I’m now 62, still healthy as ever. But you need a better answer than that right now don’t you.

I’m saving the best answer for last, so stay with me. Another great way to save is to consider a high deductible plan. When I was self-employed and not married, I always maintained a $5,000 deductible. I had enough money in reserve where I could handle that first $5,000. After that, the plan paid 100%. As a result, I had a low premium. I’m married now and covered by my wife’s group plan. We have a $5,000 deductible to save money. Blog cartoon expensive diagnosis

Many of you reading this with a family have a $2,500 deductible or less. In today’s environment with healthcare costs being what they are, you need to raise that deductible much higher. You’ll see how that drops your premiums quite a bit. Now, you will have to be a better money manager and save enough to cover the deductible. Once you make that switch to a higher deductible, save the difference in policy premiums for several months until you can fill that deductible gap. Use a Health Savings Account if your employer offers one.

You can also buy supplemental plans from companies like AFLAC, Colonial, and others that will cover accidents, doctor visits, hospital stays, and other miscellaneous costs. These can be reasonable and save you money overall. For example, if your child has an accident (very probable) and breaks his arm, it could cost you a lot with emergency room fees, ambulance ride, x-rays, cast, follow up visits, etc. With a high deductible plan, that comes out of your pocket. But a supplemental plan can cover all those costs up to $5,000. So you would be out of pocket virtually nothing. I suggest you explore supplemental insurance. Call me with any questions.

Of course shopping around for the best health insurance rates is always helpful. Implement these suggestions and you will definitely save money on your healthcare costs.
