The Three C's of
Health Insurance
| |
In
attempting
to purchase health care insurance, individuals face several problems:
|
|
|
|
1
|
Due to the high cost
of traditional
health insurance coverage, it is difficult (if not impossible) for many
people to purchase adequate health insurance protection at an
affordable
cost. Without this protection, however, the financial impact of a
serious injury or illness can be devastating!
|
|
|
|
2
|
While managed care has
produced
cost savings, people enrolled in managed care plans generally find
their
choice of doctors restricted. There is also increasing concern
about
the interference of bureaucracies in the doctor-patient relationship.
|
|
|
|
3
|
Individuals who need
little
or no health care receive no financial reward under traditional or
managed
care plans, nor is there any financial incentive under these plans for
individuals to exercise control over their health care expenditures.
|
|
By
combining tax-advantaged
personal savings with a high-deductible health insurance plan, the
Health
Savings Account (HSA) puts you in control of your own health care
dollars,
while protecting you and your family against the cost of a serious
illness
or injury.

THE
MIRACLE OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT by Jim Rohn
One
day Mr. Shoaff said, "Jim, if you want to be wealthy and happy, learn
this
lesson well: Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your
job."
Since
that time I've been working on my own personal development. And I
must admit that this has been the most challenging assignment of
all.
This business of personal development lasts a lifetime.
You
see, what you become is far more important than what you get. The
important question to ask on the job is not, "What am I getting?"
Instead, you should ask, "What am I becoming?" Getting and
becoming
are like Siamese twins: What you become directly influences what you
get.
Think of it this way: Most of what you have today you have attracted by
becoming the person you are today.
I've
also found that income rarely exceeds personal development.
Sometimes
income takes a lucky jump, but unless you learn to handle the
responsibilities
that come with it, it will usually shrink back to the amount you can
handle.
If
someone hands you a million dollars, you'd better hurry up and become a
millionaire. A very rich man once said, "If you took all the
money
in the world and divided it equally among everybody, it would soon be
back
in the same pockets it was before."
It
is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal
development.
So
here's the great axiom of life:
-
TO HAVE MORE THAN YOU'VE GOT,
BECOME
MORE THAN YOU ARE -
This
is where you should focus most of your attention. Otherwise, you
just might have to contend with the axiom of not changing, which is:
-
UNLESS YOU CHANGE HOW YOU ARE,
YOU'LL
ALWAYS HAVE WHAT YOU'VE GOT -
To
Your Success,
Jim
