The Incentive To Demystify Healthcare

Every year something changed and so, every year we had to re-enroll and make brand new or validate prior choices regarding our healthcare coverage. I’d then spend the next 12 months fumbling through the differences between co-pay and deductible, max limits, preventative versus sick visits and dreading needing to go to the ER for anything at all because I just had no idea how anything worked, what I was entitled to, and how that might differ from what my wife and kids were covered for. It was not for lacking of trying on my company’s part. They provided me with brochures, emails, links and all the information — maybe too much information — that could’ve answered all of my questions but I didn’t know where to look, how to look or what questions I was going to have in 6 weeks or 6 months from enrolling in the plan.

I take taking care of my daughters very seriously, I mean heck I left my corporate job to be a dad in large part to pull them out of the daycare germ incubator scene, but I’d be lying if I tried to come off as some kind of knowledge source on how our healthcare plan works today should they get an infection, break an arm, need glasses, or have to get a strep test. I’m older, wiser and still totally flummoxed about healthcare. I don’t think I’m alone.
