Living Without Health Insurance.




 For us, as a family, we can do this. Well I hope. None of us have medical issue. So we have decided to go without health insurance. Well our chooses were have insurance though hubby’s work and pay almost double of what we pay now, go with Obama Care and pay about triple, or go without. Then we looked back over the last few year we noticed that my hubby is the only one that has gone in for something and it was just to urgent care about 2-3 times a year. So with not having insurance, we have paid off one credit card that we will use as insurance.

So how do I care for my family?? Essential oils!!! Yup for the past year I have taken care of us with oils. Well mostly the kids and I. As I type this I have both of my kids on the couch, watching a movie with oils on. I will do other post about the oils I have and what I use them for.

I have always been a person who does not like meds. I do not like taking something that has a ton of side effects. So we have chosen to stay away from most meds. As I learn more about the oils and use them I have been able to personally deal with everything for me without the meds.

I look forward to being able to spend alittle extra if needed on better for you foods. Like Melissa has stated in other post, though, I am not going to stress about it. I am going to use common sense. I already make my own bread, pasta, tortilla, and most sauces. We started a garden last year, and I can not wait to get planting again. Also I can learned to can my own foods.

I will be doing more updates about living without health insurance. Also I am working on blog post about canning, gardening, recipes I use and making things on your our. As I do more blogs you will see that I am trying to get to my childhood dream of being Ma from Little House. 

I will add links to this post to the other blogs as I get them done.

  1. Careful. Health insurance is not about the little trips to the doctor. It's about having help should something major occur. It someone was in an accident, the hospital bills would wipe you out.

  2. I've heard good things about the Samaritan healthcare co-op. Have a few friends who use it. Might be worth checking out.
