Lesson 4: Things to Watch Out For When Picking a Plan

Got a pretty good idea where you fit in on the health care continuum?

Good, now for the "buts". (You knew they were coming!)

One big catch is that, for a lot of people, a few (or a lot) of these options simply won't be available, due to any number of factors (where you live, what you do for a living, your age, your medical history, etc). You may have compromise on your first choice just make a match with what's available.

The second catch is cost, cost, cost. (You knew this was coming too!)

Some of us can't afford indemnity coverage. Just like a lot of us can't afford to carry a $100 deductible, no matter how safe it would make us feel.

And that's why tomorrow is all about choosing a policy that adequately balances cost with coverage.

Bring the ideas you formed today about the kind of coverage you want to the table tomorrow when talk about the level of coverage you can afford to take on.

See you then! Next: Lesson 5: balancing cost and coverage
