Today we’re talking about medical insurance and the pitfalls of purchasing policies without understanding the fine print. We have a checklist that will help you find the right medical insurance plan - helping you understand how to balance premium costs with comprehensive benefits, navigating co-pay clauses and pre-existing disease coverage. Tune in as we demystify the intricacies of medical insurance and help safeguard your financial well-being in times of medical emergencies.
