Who wouldn't like cheap health insurance? Maybe I should rephrase that question. Who wouldn't like to pay less for their health insurance? I know I would and I'm in the process of lowering it right now. To lower your health insurance today would be like giving yourself a raise.
There are several ways to reduce your health insurance costs. One way is to reduce your coverage or increase your deductible. They even have plans that are just for catastrophes and are less expensive. Of course, you are only covered in the case of a catastrophe. Either way you look at it the cost is pretty high. I just heard that the premiums are going to go up again. If Obamacare is not overturned by the Supreme Court, we could be in for extremely high health care costs.
Take a look at what you are paying in health care costs every month. If you're lucky enough to have your employer pay for a part of it then you are truly one of the fortunate ones. For those that have to pay for it out of pocket, I can only imagine how difficult that is. With the cost of health care increasing and our wages not keeping pace, it forces us to make tough decisions.
What if the tough decision was to eat better and healthier foods that don't contain chemicals. What if you also eliminated Gluten from your diet for say, one week? What if the hard decision was that you had to give up one or more of your favorite foods forever! Would you be strong enough to do that? If it meant you could be healthier and if you're healthier you could reduce the cost of health care.
I meet people every day that tell me they want to change. They tell me that they don't feel well or their tired. I hear complaining about the cost of their insurance. What I don't hear is how they are going to change this thinking and do something about it. The simplest solution would be to change their diet, but that doesn't even enter someone's thought process. We are so used to going to a Doctor for all our ills because we think they can cure everything with a pill or medication.
In order to change your thought process for anything you do, you must first have the courage to change. I say that because you could have the desire, but still not do it. I often wonder what people are thinking about when they sit down to eat a huge meal filled with empty calories. Then they wonder why their hungry hours later and they are not any healthier. I love the people that work out 4 or 5 times a week and then think they can eat anything they want. Drives me crazy.
If you really want to reduce your health care costs then increase the nutrition you put in your body. Something so simple could change your life, but you have to take that first step and do it. You can actually do something to get healthier and it is just shifting your food dollars to better quality food. Quality food that gives your body the essential nutrients it needs to survive. The only real question is, "Do you want to pay for it now or later"? There is no escaping it, but if you treat yourself to better food then there is no question in my mind that you will save much more in the end on health care. It is not just about money, it is about quality of life. Do what I do and spend the money now and give up food that does nothing for you.
Feeding your body nutrition is the best way to get the cheapest insurance.
