How Can I Afford Insurance?

We know your excuse for not having health insurance. You think it’s too expensive. That’s where you might have a serious flaw in your thinking. DAKOTACAREONE Individual plans start as low as $69 a month. Sure you might have to give up a few things. But what will you have to sacrifice if you have a $30,000 hospital bill to pay off?

Think about it this way…
• Of the 1.5 million bankruptcies filed in the U.S. each year, about half are a result of medical bills
• Over the past 20 years, the number of families going bankrupt following a serious illness has multiplied by a staggering 2,000 percent
• The current reality is that the uninsured – the people who can least afford high medical bills – are putting themselves at extreme financial risk

The potential cost of health insurance per month is the same as…
• Two tanks of gas for a compact car
• Half the cost of the cheapest pair of designer jeans
• One month of general cell phone service with most features, does not include going over your minutes
• Five DVDs
• 8 movie tickets without any snacks
• Around 22 grande hazelnut lattes from your favorite coffee shop
• 70 songs on iTunes
• 6 or 7 CDs
• 17 parking tickets
• Ten trips to an upscale fast food joint—not including a drink

The potential cost of health insurance is less than…
• Approximately the cost of 2 haircuts for women and 3 for men
• 2 manicure/pedicure packages
• One-night in an average hotel
• A pair of running shoes
• A full set of new tires
• A full tank of gas in your SUV

Still think you can’t afford DAKOTACAREONE?

Do you really know what you’re spending your money on? You might be surprised at how little you have to give up to get covered. Here are a few budget tips from the experts.

• Write down what you spent money on last month. Make sure you write down everything from the snack machines at work to the pack of gum you bought when filling up the tank.
• Put your spending into categories like rent, food, utilities, transportation, entertainment, etc. and then track your spending. Look at receipts, your checkbook and debit card transactions.
• Are you spending more money on little luxuries? Like fancy coffee? Multiple runs to the pop machine for the overpriced soda? Start eliminating these items first.
• Then look at where you can save money. Can you buy generic brands versus the spendier brand-name food and toiletry items? Can you drive a cheaper car? Cut back on the fancy $5 coffee?

Once you’ve figured out what you spend your money on, you can begin to cut out unnecessary spending. See, you CAN afford health insurance!
