]]>As the adage says “Mahal ang magkasakit” and it really is, especially in this country where some hospitals will even require a down payment for an emergency case.
It is important for us moms to always be prepared for such possibilities. And because not everyone has a health insurance for their family care of the company they are working for, prepaid health cards can be heaven sent. This is especially true for our dear work at home parents who may have to pay buy their own benefits.
For moms and dads looking for prepaid health cards for their children – be it babies or older kids, sharing with you some information that you may need in order to decide on which prepaid health insurance to buy. ALWAYS, ALWAYS remember to read the fine prints on any of the health cards you are interested to purchase and keep in mind that there are some illnesses and situations which may not be covered, like Asthma which they do not consider as an emergency. So better read up on all of the provisions in the health card policy – I have included the links to the official websites of the health care providers.
