When we think about our health and our family’s well-being, we always focus on the big expenses like hospital bills and the cost of medical treatments, which we pay for with the help of our health cards or HMOs. What we don’t realize, however, is that 66% of what we spend for our health from our own pockets goes to medicine alone. Unfortunately, these are not covered by our HMO plans or health card benefits Life-threatening illnesses like hypertension would need to be controlled with maintenance medicine that costs around P3,000- P4,000 monthly. Inhalers for recurring asthma attacks could cost around P1,700-P3,000 per month. Diabetes would require more expensive medication like insulin shots, which range from P800-P1,000 for five shots, taken daily. With all the maintenance medication needed to cope with these illnesses, do you think you are financially prepared if you or anyone in your family contracts these? Where do you plan to get the money if you or anyone in your family is faced with any of these illnesses? We can set a meeting regarding your queries at a time and place that is convenient to you. Appointments/Consultations are free of charge. You may send me a message at 0916-475-4264 / 0998-983-2061.
