Health insurance costs are climbing, and this year’s open enrollment feels tougher than ever. Premiums are up, deductibles are higher, and plans seem designed to confuse you. 

In this episode, Jess and Brandon walk through how to actually compare your options by looking at total yearly cost, not just the monthly premium. You’ll learn how to plan for high-cost years with surgeries or pregnancies versus lower-cost preventive years, and how to understand how network changes, prescriptions, and hidden fees can impact your real out-of-pocket costs.

They also break down the tools that help you fight rising healthcare costs:

• HSAs: triple tax advantages and long-term growth potential
• FSAs and Dependent Care FSAs: pre-tax savings for medical and childcare costs
• Short Term Disability: using it for maternity or recovery time
• Group Life and Disability Insurance: what’s covered and where the gaps are

If your health plan feels more expensive but offers less, this episode helps you make the smartest choice for your family and your wallet.
