Holistic HealingBlue Cross Blue Shield Health Insurance - Do Not Be Left Without Coverage


Blue Cross Blue Shield Health Insurance is one of the oldest, most established
health insurance companies in the country. This company has been providing
health insurance to generations of Americans and its customer base grows more
and more each year. I am secure in the knowledge that my family and their health is
protected since I have a Blue Cross Blue Shield Health Insurance policy.

I wish I could say this was always true. For a number of years I worked as a
bartender and had no insurance coverage whatsoever. I was a nervous wreck that
any accident or fall would put me in tremendous debt because I had no way to pay
any hospital bills. Without my Blue Cross Blue Shield protection, I found
myself not going to the doctor's, no matter how sick I was because I could not
afford the price of a visit.

On one occasion, I hurt my ankle tripping over something in the dark. Even
though it hurt a lot, I went home on it and saw that it was twisted and badly
sprained. But there was no way I could go to the hospital without Blue Cross
Blue Shield health insurance.

I had already learned that lesson the hard way. The last time I injured myself
and went to the emergency room, I incurred an incredible debt. The cost of an
emergency room visit is incredibly expensive, and so I have to make payments on
this debt that I still owe.

At the time, I felt I could not avoid going to the hospital. I had a bad case
of strep throat and If I was not treated with antibiotics, I would not be able
to go to work. As a bartender, not going to work meant not getting paid. Even
though I knew the visit would be very expensive, I had no choice but to go to
the hospital and then try to work out a payment plan for the visit.

I was in a cubicle for a total of ten minutes, and the visit cost me $200. That
worked out to $10 per minute. Since I do not make $60 an hour, I knew I could
not afford to do that again. That experience really made me realize that I
literally could not afford to be without Blue Cross Blue Shield Health
Insurance.

To add insult to injury, besides charging me for the room, the hospital charged
me for every little thing involved in the visit, including the antibiotics, of
course, but also for such items as the gloves the doctor wore when he examined
me. Spending five dollars for one pair of latex gloves made me determine to
start looking for a Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance Plan that I could afford. I
have never regretted that decision.
