Sometimes trying to figure the perfect gift for our parents can be a daunting task. When we ask them what they would like, more often than not the response is “I have everything I need”.
But do they really? What if, just what if, you could give them something that would send the best message of all! A message that said I love and want you to be around for a long time, I want my kids to know you as well as I know you. We think we have the perfect answer to the perfect gift!

Frustrated with the ever-increasing cost of health insurance?
Are you a freelancer, self-employed, or a business owner responsible for your own health insurance?
Do you have a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) and feel like you are just throwing money away every month?
Would you like to have more control over your health care dollar?
Health-share and cost-share options are a viable alternative to traditional health insurance. With reasonable Initial Unshared Amounts (IUA), similar to a deductible, available for as low as $500, and monthly contributions in the $450-650 range for a family of 4, families and individuals are able to save over 50% over traditional health insurance. Plus, one gains the liberty to choose their own doctor, specialist, imaging center, lab, and pharmacy — putting you in the driver’s seat when it comes to directing your health care.

This is disheartening and certainly provoked anger and/or anxiety. However, this also sheds light on the deeper issues that exist within the insurance-driven U.S. healthcare system.

Men should be concerned about their health before age 50, but they often put off routine doctor visits, adopting the “if it ain’t broke, why fix it?” approach. However, when men are advised to get a colonoscopy at age 50 to screen for colon cancer, this often triggers a new found interest in their health and a visit to the doctor. This physical is very important and you want to come prepared for an open and honest discussion about your health.
