You can find me on our local news each Tuesday sharing advice on ways to save a buck. This week I share how we found health care coverage during my husband’s time of unemployment. Our town is supported mainly by the factories and the RV industry and it seems that jobs are fewer and farther between. I wanted to share how we found our health care coverage and less conventional ways to buy your prescription drugs.
If you are looking for more information on this subject you can visit my article on going without health insurance or my article explaining the prescription drug lowdown.
Sound Off: Do you have good health care coverage? Are your prescription drugs covered or do you pay for those out of pocket? Please share!
I have great health coverage! We pay only a $5 co-pay and no deductible. Prescriptions are $5 for generic and $15 for name-brand. We are covered through my husband’s employer.
I always get envious comments from others at the doctor’s office, including the nurses, when they see how low our co-pay is!

We are in the process of looking for new health ins. so this is great advice, thanks so much!! It seems like such a headache to be doing all of this searching, i wish someone could just say here is a great company to go through and then i could be done with this!
If you have any other suggestions please let me know!

You know, it seems to differ in every state. In some states, Blue Cross/Anthem (for example) offers excellent coverage and then we have moved other places and it was treated like sub par insurance so it would be hard to say one really excellent company, but maybe some others might have better ideas. I would definitely check your state’s employment site and use that as a starting point!!
I hope that helps!
