Finding Health Insurance

Thursday, June 18th, 2009
When remembering health insurance, i remember one of the Simpson episode, “Last Exit To Spriengfield”. It was about Homer, who become an Union President, fighting health care in his company, for Liza Simpson who wear a bracket.
Yup, that it was, like an old good company who assure their employee health care, family like wise. For a worker like me, where my company doesn’t provide optimal health protection; i definitely must find my own protection.
Actually i already think about it a long time, but seems like a low priority. Not being cocky because assume always healthy, but because lack of health insurance knowledge..thing.
Compared to life insurance, education and pension; where are health insurance? It seems all are important and so many need to take a side if we want to plan all that sort of stuff. Beside, we’re five, my dad, mom, me and 2 brother and sister.
Ah, it suc* have to work where there’s no social assurance. No health assurance, no pension, no nothing. Just imagine, when one of your family memebr goes to hospital, all your fund resource had to come out to pay thie bill.
If it has to come like this, even just for a bracket like Liza Simpson? I might have to forget it! Arrgh, it feels a lot worse than working at Homer Simpson Mr. Burn’s place.
Whose fault is that?

Recently i almost got a typhoid . And almost go to the hospital. But fortunately, im not. And can say my prayer to God, i don’t have to spend hundred of dollars for health care. This gave me enough confidence to protect myselft, whether in life pattern or health care. I had my mind, i dont make my kids suffer when i grow old.

The poor thing is, after reading about the insurance, its getting harder to decide. Some offering pure health insurance, others offering mix with investment/link unit. Pure health insurance had term “burned” if there’s no claim. A sales person once told me that his product will “refund 20% if there’s no claim”

Is it worth it?

Insurance plus investment force us to do investment. While according to Safir Senduk, our top priority scale are to pay debts,  operational, saving and lastly, investing. The point is, if we still have a lot of debts, is it possible to investing?

Than those kind of investment, stock, obligation, forex blah blah blah,etc !@#$%^&*. Wow, its so interesting. Who would not like dollars? If we talk about money, everyone like to become SpongeBob’s Mr Crabb” “I like money!!!”

Yeah..
Then..what should we do huh?
