They got themselves affordable health insurance and lived happily ever after
17 February 2008And they lived happily ever after … that’s how a fairytale ends and almost all of us want our lives to be nothing short of a fairytale. So, this young couple from Pittsburgh did what any sensible person would do. They bought a low cost family health insurance from Highmark Blue Cross at the first possible opportunity. But like any other DINK (Double Income No Kids) couple their budget was dominated by EMI’s and credit cards were extended to the limit. So the premiums had to be squeezed by foregoing a few sumptuous dinners in downtown posh restaurants. But the couple didn’t bother, since they knew health is wealth and at times of medical emergency everything else suddenly loose sheen. They had seen that happening from uncomfortably close quarters and didn’t want a repeat of it in their own lives.
They got online health insurance quotation from quite a few insurance providers and got in touch with health insurance agents too. They compared health insurance rates and checked the track records of health insurance companies and finally decided on the one which has in its network every hospital in Western Pennsylvania. As usual they got quotes which were appreciably lower than those of Highmark Blue Cross but they knew some of those companies may be having doctors with honorary degrees (specialists at curing frostbites, maybe) and are present in hospitals which might require an off roader SUV to reach. That’d surely be pretty much handful when you’re dangling precariously between life and death!
They didn’t get carried away by those flashy add-ons such as 15% off car rentals and flower purchases since they knew flowers wilt at the slightest sign of emergency and cars need a healthy person to drive them.
Another issue which they pondered before selecting Highmark Blue Cross as their health insurance provider is the location of the company. They surely didn’t want to encounter a situation where they call the company only to hear a recorded message “We’re in the Cayman Islands. Leave a message in case we come back.” They thought it’d be better not to wait for them at all.
With health firmly insured, life for these two young souls was a never ending high till one day a freak pile-up on a snowy freeway critically injured the young man and he had to be rushed to Allegheny General Hospital in an unconscious state. The young lady felt her world collapsing like a pack of cards and heard or saw nothing as she stumbled her way to the ICU. The blue shield of Highmark Blue Cross protected her at this crucial juncture.
The hospital authorities spared no effort or expenses. Both by divine grace and doctors’ intervention the lady got back her husband and both started dreaming again.
They say dreams bear fruit if dreamt hard. Stork visited them soon and they pleasantly discovered that all insurance plans of Highmark Blue Cross automatically include maternity coverage. Now they know what to do soon as the child is born – they’ll take a child health insurance.
