The movie Identity Thief came out last weekend – have you seen it?  Well, it’s hilarious and a little scary at the same time! 

So here we are, one month into a new year and a new medical plan for many. Have you noticed any changes? Do you have a higher deductible or changes in coverage, co-pay amounts, prescription coverage? You may be in the market for prescription discount cards.

This happened to our family a few years ago with a prescription my husband needs to take for a hereditary acid reflux issue (Pantoprazole). Here is our personal story and how we used prescription discount cards to save $2190.  

Have you seen previews for the new movie Identity Thief? It looks hilarious! 

Jason Bateman plays a well-mannered businessman who learns his identity has been stolen. He hits the road in an attempt to foil the thief and lands in the path of a deceptively harmless-looking woman played by Melissa McCarthy (from Bridesmaids). While the movie promises to be a gut-buster, identity theft is serious and scary when it happens to you or someone you love!  

Do you remember when you were a kid and our mom would call your family doctor to discuss symptoms over the phone? The doctor would prescribe a course of treatment and sometimes call in a prescription to the local pharmacy, right? Why doesn't that happen anymore? In a nutshell: because healthcare has changed!

“It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye!” You probably heard this from your mom when you were a kid. Do you find yourself repeating this rich tradition with your kids? The last thing on your mind at the time was probably vision insurance.

It’s open enrollment time for many employees and vision benefits might be one of your choices. Let’s be honest: most of us would rather poke our eye with a stick than go through the selection process!  

Do you post comments on articles?  Last week, the #1 read and shared Wall Street Journal article generated 985 comments (and counting…). It happened to be about a subject that I’ve been watching (curiously) for more than three years.  “Why the Doctor Can’t See You” discussed the growth of concierge medicine.
