"Also here's something I never learned until it was too late. Get a life insurance plan that's not tied to your work. When you are diagnosed with a life threatening illness one of the first things to go is often your job. If all your insurance is thru work, it's gone. rodney"
Rodney, so true!! I scream at this so called "healthcare" issue in that it has always been available to buy on your own. As a society, we have been brainwashed into thinking that the employer is the only one who has access to it and that EVERYTHING should be paid for.oh, you pay for it one way or another. In the past 25 years, I have often purchased catastrophic insurance coverage on my own (between jobs, commission only sales job, etc.) and just Paid out of pocket for my office visits, mammo, PAP, etc. It was CHEAPER that way vs. high monthly premiums to "cover" them. I wanted coverage for the expensive "what if" event. Sheesh! Now we have a fat mess on our hands!
