Protecting Your Health
Working in the homes of people who are ill or who need help, constantly reminds me that not only should I live a life as healthy as possible (diet, exercise, moderation in all things) but that should I fall ill, I need to have the knowledge that I can see whichever doctor or specialist I need to see and have the treatment prescribed or hospitalization if necessary.
In England this was never a worry, as I had paid into the National Health System and was covered for all eventualities. Here it is a different matter, and private health insurance is a must.
Private health insurance need not be expensive, and it pays to shop around. I came across a website called bcbsnc, which offers very affordable health insurance plans for residents of North Carolina, and I have of course sent the information on to my friend who lives there. I am sure that most states of the US and most countries in Europe have affordable health plans, and they are definitely worth investigating before you fall ill.
