Save it for a rainy day

The only decent show on cable last night was John Q. I haven't seen it except for the trailers shown during commercials. It stars Denzel Washington so I thought it must be good. I was right. It was a good movie. It showed the lengths a desperate father would do to save his son's life. It also opened my eyes about the realities and importance of having good HMOs.

When I was still working, I rarely used my health benefits. I didn't think that I'd be missing these once I've resigned. Now, if ever I get sick, I'd have to pay with my own money unlike if I have an HMO. In the movie, it was already difficult for the character of Denzel Washington to make ends meet let alone pay for his son's heart transplant because his HMO doesn't cover the procedure. This serves as a lesson to check with your HMO for the coverage of your plan. What if something like this happens to you (knock on wood!)? What more if you're old and have retired from your job? How will you pay for your medical needs? It really is important to get a good medicare insurance so that you're prepared for the rainy days".

As they say, no matter how trite this may sound, health is wealth. We should maximize all our opportunities and benefits so we can live a normal and healthy life.
