Catastrophic Health Insurance vs. Cobra

After my daughter's husband lost his job, the company wanted almost $1500 to COBRA his health plan for her husband and herself. After doing some research, they learned that they could save a tremendous amount of money by purchasing a catastrophic health insurance plan with a HSA. It had a $2500 family deductible with no coinsurance after the deductible was met. Additionally, they contracted with a concierge physician and have 24/365 unlimited access to impeccable care. The guy even makes house calls!

In total, they now spend about $700 per month for their family to have top-notch care. The concierge MD has saved us thousands more by providing us with free samples, substantially reduced lab costs, and intervening on a weekend when a bad case of the croup would have normally landed her in the ER with a $1,000 bill.

This is certainly worth looking into.
