Mothering Many

I’m sure it’s totally not going to shock you when I say health care cost are astronomical, and that the cost of insurance is likewise outrageous. Now, I do have some serious rants about the state of health care in this country, and how affordable health insurance ought to be a priority, nit just lip serviced, but this is not a political blog. I have one of those, but this is not it, therefore I will refrain from launching into a scathing attack…………opps, sorry. Got a little carried away, didn’t I?

Let’s get back to budgeting and health insurance. If you are not provided health insurance through your work, be sure to check in to the insurance offered by your state. Although adult health coverage is hard to obtain, the insurance for children is not, and the deductible and/or co-pay, is shockingly low. Eligibility depends on income and family size, but the amount you can make is more than you might think, up to $34,100 a year for a family of four, and that goes up as family size increases.

If you don’t qualify for that, check out other options. You can get health insurance quotes in your pajamas!
