Have you been searching for low cost health insurance but don't know where to turn? You're not alone, there are now millions of people without health insurance here in the United States. The situation is completely unacceptable for a concern, however, I'm only one voice and my one voice only carries so far. There are ways that you can lower your health insurance costs, one of which is by raising your annual deductible to a higher level. Let me explain how this works.

By raising your annual deductible you'll still have substantial coverage towards any hospitalization costs, but it means that you probably be paying the majority of your doctor visits out-of-pocket. Most people only see the doctor once or twice a year and even then, most of the time it's for sickness not injury so you'd be looking at possibly only paying the cost of two doctor visits, plus the cost of prescriptions, if any. Of course, this is assuming that you're an individual. A family of four might be a little bit more difficult provides for out-of-pocket.

There are now also health insurance alternatives that are similar to the dental discount plans. These plans are not health insurance, but offer discounted rate for regular doctors fees by paying cash at the time of the visit. Although I have heard of these and know that some people are doing well with them, I'm not completely educated on these yet. I know that they work out well for some people that are uninsurable. If a person is uninsurable then doesn't matter what the cost is in the first place because they can't get it. Any type of a discount on health care at that point would be wonderful. Is it just something else to keep in mind if you're in need of low-cost health insurance and are unable to find it. I highly recommend that you take advantages some of the free health insurance quotes that are available on the Internet. You might come across a low cost health insurance plan that fits in your budget after all.
The moral of the story here? Don't be afraid to carry a higher deductible, just make sure that you have a few dollars put away to see the doctor a couple times a year. You should easily be able to put that way because of the amount of money that you're saving each month on your premiums. Check it out for yourself. I think you'll see that I'm right.
