What are the known and hidden costs of getting sick?

What about a medical emergency?

Are you prepared for the cost of unexpected health issues and how can you protect yourself, your family, and your bank account?

On this week's episode of the Crushing Debt Podcast, Shawn & George talk about Shawn's son, who broke his arm recently, requiring surgery to fix. His son is expected to make a full recovery but the incident taught Shawn a few things about the costs of staying healthy and what to do when an accident happens, including known and hidden costs like:

• Emergency Room visit
• X-Rays and other tests
• IV
• Surgery
• Anethesia
• Pain medicine and pain management
• After-effects, like cancellation of future plans, medicinal needs after the fact, and other necessary care supplies.

We also talk about insurance coverages and how those play into the analysis, and what to do to mitigate the out of pocket costs of a medical incident.
