Nothing can eat into savings and impoverish a family like medical expenses. Health insurance premiums, co-pays, limitations and caps and large individual and family deductibles are bad enough, but when something catastrophic occurs or you have an debilitating, chronic illness that may require long-term medical care, you learn pretty quickly that your “decent little nest egg” is nothing but a memory. In a worst case scenario, it can wipe out your entire savings, and you’ll find that you won’t have sufficient funds to pay for the required medical care; you may be forced into heavy debt to finance your medical expenses or even need to declare bankruptcy.

Sadly, despite the high cost of insurance premiums faithfully paid, insurance companies tend to nickel-and-dime us, regularly denying claims and forcing us to accept the inevitable or fight for coverage that we expected.
