Hey Honey, I'm Running To the Drug Store to Pick up Some Toothpaste and Health Insurance... Do You Need Anything?

It sounds funny but may be a comment coming soon to your house. Recent news reports claim that Walgreens plans to start selling health insurance as soon as this fall. Seems like a great idea on the surface, but consumers should do some research first.

In order to be competitive, some of the health insurance offerings that will be offered by Walgreens may not be quality products that provide the best coverage. It is always important when searching for a health insurance policy to have someone knowledgeable, such as an insurance agent, to help you find the best insurance policy for your situation. What's the point in paying for a cheap policy if it does not cover your needs?

Great points, health insurance is vital and so is having the proper protection so doing research on what Walgreen offers is pertinent. I wonder if they will staff insurance professionals. I think independent agents have a lot to offer as they can offer coverage from several different insurers.
