Q:
Health insurance is eating us alive. My husband is a contract
worker so he receives no insurance benefits from work. I stopped
working last year just prior to the birth of my daughter and we
are currently covered on a COBRA plan. They have just raised the
costs to $775 a month - and I thought $535 was outrageous. I'm
very seriously considering trying to cover the whole family under
a major medical plan only and saving the money not spent on premiums
for routine office visits, medication and emergencies. Is this
a good choice for us? ~Thanks, Jackie
A:
Health insurance is so costly. But, since we all differ in the
needs we have, I cannot recommend just one company. There are
so many providers of insurance that could meet all your needs
at a better price than what you are paying.
The
best place to do some comparison shopping is on the Internet.
There are several websites that offer price comparisons between
providers. Here are just a few to get you started. Please look
for others as well:
