Very interesting question, Karl!
Interestingly, it took me a while to realize that I needed a health insurance policy. Not until my wife got pregnant did I decide to purchase one for myself. What made me decide actually was the constantly increasing medical fees we had to shell out for her regular visits and checkups. If you get convinced that health care costs will definitely increase as medical advances and treatments increase, then you will surely think about buying a health insurance policy right now!
A health insurance policy would actually help you par for medical care and hospitalization. With a good health insurance policy in your hands in Miami, you and your family will be protected during sudden serious illnesses or injury which can become very, very expensive these days. Not only that, usually when you have a health insurance policy, you will tend to make sure that you are getting the most out of the premiums you pay that’s why a health insurance policy helps you get regular routine and preventive medial care.
There is no way you can predict your medical bills in the future. Everyone is vulnerable to any kinds of injury or illness. However, costs for medical procedure and drugs can be very unpredictable. By having a health insurance policy, you will be having peace of mind knowing that you have protection for most, if not all, of these possible medical costs. People with health insurance are also more prone to get regularly checked by a regular doctor and can get medical care when they need it.
Health Insurance Help Florida FL
Reader’s Question:
I was advised that I should get co-pay health insurance policy. What’s the difference between co-pays and co-insurance? Which one is better?

It’s good that you asked, Dan.
Although health insurance policies in Florida help you pay for your medical needs, they rarely cover 100% of the cost of you medical expenses. As a policyholder, you will be responsible for paying some of your medical expenses. It can either be a co-pay, which is a fixed dollar amount, or a co-insurance, which is a percentage of the total cost you are responsible to pay for.
Let’s say your insurer in Florida requires you to pay $20 for a prescription and the $20 is your co-pay which is commonly used for doctor visits. Say, some health insurance plans may require you to pay a $10 (or $20 or $50) as co-pay per doctor visit.
Some health company insurance companies will use co-insurance to share the cost of care with you. You will be required to pay for a percentage of your care instead of a fixed dollar amount once you have met your insurance plan’s deductible. If your plan may cover 80% of the cost of your hospital visit but you must pay the remaining 20%, then the 20% will be your co-insurance.
Notice too of the advantages when there is co-pay as opposed to the co-insurance. Here will be certain situations when the co-insurance. There are some situations when the co-insurance amount will be less than co-pay which will therefore make the co-pays more predictable and tend to keep out-of-pocket expenses out of control.

Reader’s Question:
I have a 6-year old son who lives with his mom in Florida. I am divorced from my wife and that is how custody is arranged. I am considering purchasing a life insurance for my son. Will that be a good move? How will a life insurance can help my child?

Hello Dan!
Yes, of course. It is a good insight to get a life insurance for a child who is still very young. When a child is young, strong and healthy, life insurance is obtainable at very minimal cost.
Question is, what type of insurance to purchase?
One of your options is to you sign up for a low premium term life insurance, with a guaranteed periodic option, to make it possible for your child to have life insurance as adults, even if he develops a health problem that’s chronic.
Or better yet, you can purchase a whole life insurance policy in Florida, which is intended to last for the rest of his life. Any change in your son’s age or health won’t affect your child’s policy even if he will have a dangerous occupation in the future or join the military. Also, since a whole life policy accumulates cash value, your son could borrow against this value or stop the policy and withdraw the money to pay for his college or any other urgent funding needs.

I am a married 30 year old male currently working as a public accountant in Florida. I have 3 kids. How much life insurance do I need in Florida?

Your life insurance needs really depend on the circumstances you are in, and the expectations you have for the money with respect to your needs. It is safe to assume that you are the breadwinner in your family, and you probably need more. Main wage earners in Florida are usually insured for more than part time or a stay home partner.
If you have not decided yet how much Florida life insurance you’ll purchase, you need to identify and calculate a few possible expenses in the future you intend to spend your life insurance for, such as: costs of your funeral, debt of your family in mortgages and consumer debt, expenses of your spouse at the present, costs of raising your children and other care expenses for other dependents, college education, and weddings.
It is a matter of knowing your lifestyle more and predicting future expenses to determine your needs. It would be best to sit down with a Florida life insurance agent for you to get advise on the best offer for you lifestyle and needs.
