Health Insurance Tip of the Month:
 
The best time to get health insurance is when you’re healthy. Just as you prepare for cold and flu season with preventative measures, you can prepare for the very real financial risk of future health issues with health insurance. If you wait until you “need it”, you’ll pay more or have limited coverage options available.
