<\/p>\nLast week, I had some routine repairs done to my car.\u00a0 The rear brakes and rotors were pretty much worn out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The repair bill was just under $500.<\/p>\n
I knew it was going to be expensive.\u00a0 I knew it wouldn\u2019t be covered under warranty.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have \u201chealth insurance\u201d for my car that allows me to pay a $10 \u201cco-pay\u201d and let the insurance company take care of the rest.<\/p>\n
Without flinching, I pulled out my debit card and paid the repair bill.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t thrilled about it, but I knew it had to be done (brakes are pretty important), and nobody else was going to pay for it.\u00a0 The garage certainly didn\u2019t feel any obligation to give me a huge discount, despite the fact that brakes are such an important part of the car, and I could die if I didn\u2019t get them fixed.<\/p>\n
I simply paid the bill.\u00a0 Now I have a safe car.<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s change the scenario a little bit.\u00a0 Let\u2019s say I need some blood testing , a tooth filled, some chiropractic work , a medication, or any number of health-related things.\u00a0 Paying $500 would seem OUTRAGEOUS!<\/p>\n
My question is WHY does it seem so outrageous to have to pay $500 for healthcare-related services while replacing some parts on my car for $500 doesn\u2019t sound so bad?<\/p>\n
The point of this blog is simple: Your health is worth so much more than your car! So, take care of yourself, regardless of what your insurance may or may not cover!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
