» FINDING AFFORDABLE FAMILY HEALTH INSURANCE IS POSSIBLE

By China at 9:26 AM

These days finding affordable family health insurance is on the mind of many middle and lower class American citizens. Many people say that it is impossible to find an excellent health care plan that covers your major medical expenses, hospitalization costs and other miscellaneous health expenses. The important thing to realize is that it is possible. In life, everything is possible if you believe. I heard that once from a motivational business keynote speaker that came to our office for a seminar. I know it may sound corny, but it really is true. People can and will believe anything and make it a part of their reality every day, so why is it then that no one can believe that finding affordable family health insurance is actually possible. I will tell you why, because the media makes us believe that it is impossible. The power of the television is to put in our head the images that imprint our minds. So if the tv says that we are all going under in some horrible financial crisis, and we see pictures, graphs, and images that reinforce this, then to our minds this is our reality.

There are some really affordable options available and they are out there. Even if you are unemployed, for instance did you know that for the moment the government is helping to pay the COBRA benefits for people? And we are not just talking $20 or something, they are actually paying 65% of peoples COBRA payments for a period of nine months to help people stay insured. Or did you know that if you have kids, even if you are above the poverty level, there is a state run children's insurance plan that you may be eligible to put them on? I bet you didn't and you know why, because these options are not what the media is focused on. So if you find yourself believing that all is grim, then shut off your TV and don't turn it back on, instead go for a walk or go to the gym. Allowing these images and thoughts to invade your mind, is just creating your negative reality.
