Health Insurance for Couples - How to Save Money





Like many things in life if you buy in bulk you often receive goods at a discounted price, health insurance is no exception. Couples insurance is a lot less stressful than two separate policies; you may not even be married. Couples insurance is for anyone who wishes to combine their cover with someone else. There is only one premium to pay; this is a great idea for those couples looking to combine their accounts in general. Maintaining and claiming just one account can also relieve stress if something does go wrong, but aside from the strain and bureaucracy of two separate accounts, combining accounts can also save you money.

Here are some things to consider before joining your accounts together: 

The Government Initiative for lifetime health cover rewards those who take out couples health cover before the age of 30. Under 30’s get the best premium rates as they are seen as the most healthy members of society. If you can lock down your premiums at this low rate you could hold on to them for life. After the age of 30, if you do decide to wait to think about health cover, there will be an increase of 2% for every year you put off buying, so it really is a good idea to get in touch with private health insurance companies as soon as possible.

The Medicare Levy Surcharge is an issue for some high income earners who don’t have cover at all so make sure you take out a complying policy to avoid this. But again, if you are on a combined policy, you can save on Medicare surcharges.  The thresholds for singles are half those of couples. This can be great news for someone within a couple who earns a lot more than their counterpart and who individually might exceed the threshold. The thresholds can be really confusing for some people so for more information on what discounts you could receive by combining policies make sure visit Choosi. You may also save more money by using the useful comparison aspect of the site.

Miss Poodle Perm, That's Me!

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School. Actually what I remember is the picture taken of me leaving for my first day of High School. I'm wearing a brave smile, but the hair, the hair , my hair style was a nightmare. My two best friends and I were going to be attending a High School out of our district. That was stressful enough. To add to this new-ness we wanted new looks as well. K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

My Questions Answered By Chef Pati Jinich - Video

Rob and I have been focusing on finding foods and spices that will help us take some weight off.  I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body.  The older you get the harder it is to lose weight.  What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting?  Do your crunches and planks now!  7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism.  ( Yes please !)  After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks.  It also contains more potassium than other drinks which is an important component in helping to build muscle which, in turn, helps you burn more calories. And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
