Real Life Health Insurance Benefits

It's easy to sit back and point out the virtues of health insurance. Here's a real life picture. I live in Slidell and have health insurance, a pretty good plans. Over the last six months I've had one family member hospitalized, another pretty sick over a long term, and some health problems myself. To make a long story short my health insurance has paid out over $50,000 so far in the first six months of 2010. With my end being an out-of-pocket of about $4,000 this health insurance plan has saved me from disaster. Premiums seem tough, but have a year like mine and they look very cheap.

Individual Health Insurance in Slidell (Or Anywhere)

To obtain individual health insurance in Slidell you’ll have to contact an agent and get some quotes or try to do it online. Online quotes are a little vague. It’s best to speak with an agent though as various medical conditions can alter your quote or even eliminate you from coverage. That situation may change with Obama’s plan down the line but that remains to be seen.
Individual Health Insurance is offered to those unable to obtain coverage through another source such as an employer. That makes your job even more important. Try to look for some of these things in your individual health insurance plan:

Can you be cancelled? -Most policies will provide some protection against this with guaranteed coverage as long as you pay. Others may be renewable yearly.
Prescription drug plan? This can help a lot but may sometimes be too costly or too restrictive?

Policy Limits – Most individual health insurance plans will carry some kind of monetary limit. Not unusual, it’s often a component of group health insurance also. Just make sure you feel comfortable with the limit.

Fit your policy to your budget. Only you know what you can afford and what coverage you need. Buying unneeded coverage is not in your best interests.

Life Insurance in Slidell, La

To my mind life insurance is a must. Unless of course your kids are grown, your bills are all paid, and you've got money in the bank. If that's the case you've probably reached an age where life insurance isn't a good deal and it's too expensive anyway. Maybe a small burial policy would be OK but otherwise it's pointless.

For the rest of us in Slidell, life insurance provides valuable protection for your family. First method is to check out what your employer may offer. Mine does pretty well, giving us the option to putchase life insurance at low rates and with gauranteed coverage. If that's not the case check out the box on the right and agents will call to give you some quotes.

Your life insurance agent will probably offer term or some form of whole life. Term life insurance is very simple, die within a certain time frame and your survivors get paid. Whole life and it's variations offer some investment value but the benefits tend to be lower on death. One note, when the stock market is doing well, whole life can pay for itself. But when it tanks, watch out. This happened to us in our business. Suddenly, the policy value dropped and we had to shell out money to keep it up to date. So watch out for that.
