Health care costs are swinging wildly and usually upward. Predictable insurance costs were depended on previously. Today fewer are covered by employers, less is covered in programs. I’m vintage, on Medicare, and my costs have doubled in one year.
V Be vigilant. Often you now must chose between providers. Lower premiums look attractive. But what is covered? Compare all elements equally: coverage, copay, maximum benefits, access to providers. Some pay only a designated amount which might encourage us to make better and more frugal health care choices.
M Reminder, this is a developed world blessing of sorts. Still, its God’s dollars entrusted to us. Chose wisely.
