Global View - Health Insurance #D0160
A: Hey honey, how was your day?
B: It was alright. I ran into Bill and we got to talking for a while He’s in a bit of a jam.
A: Why? What happened?
B: Well, his son had an accident and Bill doesn’t have health insurance. This really got me thinking, and I wondered if we shouldn’t look into a couple of different HMO’s.
A: Yeah, you’re right. We aren’t getting any younger and our kids are getting older.
B: Exactly! I searched on the web and found a couple of HMO’s with low co pays and good coverage. The deductibles are low, too.
A: Sounds good, although, do you think we can qualify for insurance? Those insurance companies are real pirates when it comes to money.
B: Well, we don’t have any pre existing illnesses or conditions, so we should be fine.
A: I wish our company or country provided us with healthcare.
B: Not in a million years!
