Anyone out there feeling the squeeze in their wallets? Have you received your 2013 renewal for your health insurance yet? Notice anything different? How about your first paycheck of the year? Pacheck a bit lighter?
The only way you haven't noticed is if you don't have a job. Folks, this is just the beginning.
When money gets tight most people go into a different mode. That mode is becoming more efficient and maybe giving up some things that they don't want to give up. I mean, do you really need to super size something? How about basic neccesities like cable t.v.? Have you seen the cost of just watching television?
We just got an e-mail informing us that our DirectTV bill will be going up. As if it wasn't expensive enough to watch our favorite shows, now it will be more expensive. When will it stop?
Getting back to healthcare, I'm blown away at the premium increases I'm seeing. My small company just got a rate increase for 2013 of 27% and we cover 75% of our employees premiums. How can we obsorb that and not raise our rates? Our agent told us to expect a possible 50% increase in 2014 when Obamacare kicks in. Are you kidding? It seems like I'll be working just to pay for my healthcare. Or will I?
This is where my choice comes in. I'm choosing to take responsibility for my health and by doing so I can reduce my medical costs significantly. Maybe more people will WAKE UP and realize that they can make a difference in their premiums by choosing to take care of themselves BEFORE they get sick. Once you get an illness or disease...it's too late. You will be at the mercy of the insurance companies and will have to pay what they are offering. That would be less coverage for more money.
So often I approach people about Isagenix and they might try it and like it, but then they tell me that they can't afford it. It costs too much. My response is, "Compared to what"? Does it cost as much as being treated for cancer? How about cardiovascular disease? I could go on forever with every illness and disease you can think of and I can make the point that the products I take from Isagenix are cost effective.
You see, by flooding my body with nutrition with powerful protein, minerals and antioxidants, I am basically creating my own wellness program. Do you have to give up some of your favorite foods and bad habits? Yes, but then again, what is the alternative? By spending the money on quality food I will be saving so much money for years to come. Not to mention the fact that I will have a better quality of life. Is there some discipline involved? Again, yes there is, but don't you think it's worth it?
By taking responsibility for my health NOW, I feel like I'm creating a savings plan. The savings is in my health care costs. I truly believe by becoming disciplined in your food consumption you will have better health. By having good health....is like money in the bank.
