You might be in for a shock to learn how much
healthcare costs actually cost in the the city
you live in. Once you know, it is important to
get your family sufficient health
insurance. There are innumerable examples of
people being shocked on seeing a hospital bill at
the time of being discharged. It happened to my
family last year, where a somewhat complicated
procedure ended up costing us more than twice the
amount we thought it would. Insurance covered
less than a third of the total bill. As a result,
the remaining amount was borne by us.

There is a very good chance that you have health
insurance from your employer. Compare some of the
above costs to how much coverage your current
policy covers you for. Most of the time, we
assume that serious diseases will never happen to
anyone in our family as were more or less
healthy. That would be an incorrect assumption,
as diseases like cancer can happen to anyone.
Further, as you grow older, medical costs will
be far higher than they are today (over the last
decade these have been inflating at double digit
rates per annum).

In a few quick steps let's walk you through how
to ensure you are in control of your familys
health The most important starting point is to
understand and see for yourself how much
healthcare costs of different ailments in your
city cost. If you are a family of 2 ie. no
children the most prominent diseases list will be
different from that of a family of four that
includes 2 children. This can be viewed in a
matter of seconds.
The next step is to then see how much health
insurance is adequate for your family. While
there is no way to be absolutely certain, we take
a conservative approach and assume how adequate
is the amount needed, assuming each member of the
family might need to be hospitalized once during
a year.
6
Of equal importance is to get a sense of how much
it might cost to get a health insurance amount
that is deemed adequate. All of us would love
to have lots of insurance but unfortunately, it
comes at a cost and each consumer has to make his
own decision of how much he can afford to pay.
At this stage, you have understood how much is
adequate so you are unlikely to go for an amount
that is inadequate for your family, even though
you might not opt for the highest amount
suggested. so you might as well be prepared for
it by getting started here.
Thank You!
