Short Term Insurance

It has been a rough, make that very rough, Winter. I have been in the hospital twice with lung problems, the worst of which was pneumonia. The cost of these two visits was staggering to say the least. I owe the local hospital almost forty thousand dollars. Since I have no insurance this amount is not good for my wallet!
Too many people have no insurance these days and just go through living day to day praying that they don't get sick and need to see a doctor or, God forbid, be hospitalized like I was. Perhaps they are between jobs or they finally found a job but are not covered by the company insurance plan just yet. These people need to get some Blue Cross short term insurance.
Short term, or temporary insurance is available for many reasons and should be used to cover someone so that they can see a physician when they need one, not just hope that things will go away on their own. And, Blue Cross is one of the most reputable insurance companies around so you should feel confident in their ability to cover all your medical needs.
Don't get stuck with high hospital/medical/pharmaceutical bills like I did. Check out the insurance plans that are available for short term or temporary use. An ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure!
