Like it or not, we all have to deal with insurance. There are so many different parts of insurance as well as numerous insurance plans, it's hard to keep track of how it works. While the specifics can vary, there are a few key pieces of information that everyone should know. I hope that this information helps.

I also have started a petition on Change.org about allowing benefits from 2020 count in the beginning months of 2021. As there are so many different parts of insurance and so many different circumstances, my idea is that each person should be given the choice on how to apply their benefits.
