creditcard37004465.jpg
Its all over the news these days. What to do about the amazing cost of health insurance? Doesn't it seem ridiculous? Health insurance premiums are often now higher than the cost of a mortgage or car payment. You could literally be spending the majority of your income on paying for a service that is really only designed to help when a major surgery or catastrophic accident leaves you a hospital bill beyond reckoning. But we all need to have insurance. Even the local Dr. visit without any kind of coverage is absurdly expensive these days. You can't fight the system very easily, and you need some sort of coverage, so you will need to find inexpensive coverage. In today's market, however, these two words just seem to contradict each other. Anywhere you might go to look for insurance you end up paying a large amount of your income.

It is so difficult to watch so much of your income go to pay for care that should generally be much less expensive. You can certainly use that money for lots of other important things.
