As parents we want to make sure our children have the best medical coverage possible. We want to assure ourselves if something were to happen we know they will get the best care. Often times our employer will offer our families a medical insurance plan. However, in my experience it has been just basic insurance with a high co pay. When my husband had medical insurance on us through his employer it covered very little. We were paying $60 a month for the insurance plus we had a $30 co-pay every time we went to the doctor. We decided it was time to look into other insurance coverage when we received a bill showing the insurance company only covered .27 cents of a $151.00 bill.

The doctor prepared him by telling him he was only looking at 3 to 6 months. This was one of the hardest bits of news my husband and I had to deal with together as a family.
