What are some cost-effective health insurance options?

Can you explain how high-deductible plans work?

High-deductible health plans (HDHPs) have lower monthly premiums but higher deductibles. You pay more out-of-pocket before insurance kicks in, but they can be paired with HSAs for tax advantages.

What is a health savings account?

A health savings account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged account that allows you to save money for medical expenses. Contributions are tax-deductible, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free.

Are there any short-term health insurance options?

Yes, short-term health insurance plans provide temporary coverage, usually for up to 12 months. They can be a good option if you need coverage between jobs or waiting for other insurance to start.
