If you’ve ever found yourself staring at your health insurance options during open enrollment trying to make some sense out of your choices– this episode is for you. Grab a beverage, grab your health insurance options, and let’s figure out what is the best plan for your wallet and your lifestyle.

  • Learn how the health insurance system got its start in the early 1900's (and why we're still trying to figure it out)
  • What's the difference between an FSA (flexible spending account) and an HSA (health savings account)
  • 5 questions to ask yourself before you decide which health insurance plan is right for you
  • Tips to pay for large medical bills and surgeries without turning to your credit card
