Health Insurance Frustrations Roundup

I’ve recently created a foolproof method of saving thousands of dollars on health insurance and medical bills – never get sick. 

The problem with sickness is that the more often you are sick, the fewer insurance companies want to insure you.  Therefore, the more often you are sick, the more you will pay for insurance.

Our family is in the process of renewing our health insurance.  Blahhhhh.  In the last three years, our rates have gone up 300%.  We finally just made a change to a new carrier. 

If you’re shopping for international health insurance, I wish you the best.  Be sure to take an Aspirin a day.  And, of course, don’t forget to consider increasing your deductibles to save money.
