For the last few years my husband has really been organizing our investments, life insurance, and IRAs. He calls it loving his family well. I am just so blessed and thankful to have such a great husband who likes to take charge of all of that. If it were up to me, I am sure it would not be done.
He is also the go-to guy in our house when it comes to our health insurance. Calling our insurance and asking about our benefits comes naturally to this man. And I love him for that because I greatly dislike calling about things like this. We just found out that our insurance will be changing a bit due to healthcare reform. It is always stressful when dealing with health care, at least to me. But, it is important to find out about changes and what we might be losing.
Do you know what your healthcare covers?
At times like this when health care is fast changing, it is important for couples to understand their coverage and also what is available for them, should their coverage change. Selecting the right health insurance plan is one of the most important decisions that Americans will have to make. Don’t take this decision lightly!
Tips to Selecting the Best Health Care Plan
- Research Insurance Options – look up the terms you might not understand, attend seminars
- Review Insurance Options – understand the coverage
- Compare Insurance Options – make sure you can afford it
- Arrange Meetings – ask your employer for help meeting with insurance agents
Don’t stress about health care or finances. Before Aflac open enrollment this year, take time to choose a policy that is a fit for your life and family. By not researching ahead of time, you could cost your family a lot of headache and money. A recent Aflac WorkForces Report showed that 4 in 10 U.S. workers said they waste up to $750/year on mistakes with their insurance benefits. Don’t be one of those people! Slow down and get educated about your benefits.

Thanks for the tips – good to know where to go to check into these things!
Fortunately I have good coverage, but it is good to know there are other options out there!
I am fortunate that we have great coverage. But ours went up $100 per month this year. That’s steep. I’ll have my hubby look into Alfac open enrollment.
Aflec was a lifesaver after I had a baby. Loved how it supplemented our income while I was out on maternity leave.
That is a great testimony for Aflac Nicole. Thank you for sharing it! I am glad you had it when you needed it.
My husband is thinking of starting his own business and in the past our insurance companies have been nothing but pains. Will look into Aflac for sure!
It’s so important to make sure our families are taken care of. The unexpected does happen, its good to have a backup plan.
I agree completely! I love that Aflac makes this process easy.
I tried to get aflac with my last job but I don’t qualify because of my past medical history. I don’t blame them, for the past 3 years i have had at least 2 surgeries each year.
I am sorry to hear that Katrina. I hope you are enjoying better health now.
