In today’s economy and with unemployment rising, medical care is becoming more and more unaffordable. That’s when any tool you can use to reduce your costs can help.
Pennypinchinghints has scoped out a few of many online resources that can cut your expenses.
- Pricedoc.com lists participating medical providers in many areas. There are providers in dental care, mental health, vision care, and even cosmetic surgery, along with alternative medicine practitioners. This site allows you to compare and choose the best price, or you can negotiate with a provider by offering a lower price, which they may accept. You can even set a limit on how much you can afford and see which provider may take your offer.
- American Diabetes Wholesale is a mail order company that delivers affordable diabetic supplies and health products to people who pay out of pocket, are uninsured, or do not have adequate health insurance coverage. American Diabetes Wholesale provides over 3,000 top-quality, brand name diabetic supplies and over-the-counter pharmacy items at discounts up to 60% off retail prices. They are presently offering a special promotion: $5 off orders of $50 or more USE CODE: ADW550
- Healthcarefees.com is a comprehensive site that offers a newsletter on medical savings. You also get information about overseas surgery deals and low-cost health insurance rates, even for those already on COBRA plans. And, you can compare treatment prices for surgical and dental procedures.
- Goodcare.com targets for retired people. You can look at costs and deals for long-term health care and read about how to negotiate Medicare plans and which Medicare deals are more affordable.
- eHealthInsurance and InsureMe list multiple health insurance companies and their plans so you can comparison shop. You can also get quotes from companies for plans you are looking at in particular.
Don’t just assume any medical need you have will cost you a set price. Let your fingers on your keyboard to do the walking around the obstacles to affordable medical care.

At the beginning of this year my family medical insurance coverage went up in price over ten percent. Together with more people losing their jobs in the USA, and large numbers of people already out of work, I don’t know how many people are going to be able to get access to budget friendly medical care without some form of federal government aid.
