Friends with Money Part 2/Hunt for Health Insurance Part 2
Filed Under Health and Well-Being, Money, Finance and Other Serious Stuff, Saving Money
Some readers may have noticed that I often visit friends and family when I travel. This is a little about saving money, but much more about being with friends and family — to me that’s what a vacation is all about. Well, this week, I got a wonderful offer that I can’t refuse: I have been invited to join a friend on a week-long cruise to Central America and Mexico — next week, for free! I get to travel with a great friend, have a vacation, and save money — chances are it will cost me as little as staying home. So, next week, we’ll re-run some of our favorite blogposts, updated with new money-saving opportunities for our newer readers.
I know I’ve mentioned it here before, but I am very very lucky.
Meanwhile..I’ve already been contacted via email by the AARP insurance agent, who sent over a brochure and preliminary proposal for my needs. Compared to those, the $400 a month I am now paying is smack in the middle of the range. The deductibles, however, are quite higher — from $1250 to six thousand compared to the $250 on my current plan, which ends in January.
I put a note up on my Facebook page and got about a half-dozen replies, comprised of three personal referrals, a suggestion to visit the Freelancers Union, one to visit SBUA.org (Small Business United), and one minor rant on the state of the U.S. Healthcare system.
Going through the old email, I find: nothing of any value.
Looking at old snail mail, I find something from AARP. It’s an offer for information on not only health insurance per se, but also dental, vision, prescription and fitness programs. I will look into this as well. And there’s a Blue Cross/Blue Shield ad in the Sunday paper that says coverage from $5 a day ($150/month; very low). I’ll call them tomorrow.
Meanwhile, a few special deals for today:
