It’s almost health insurance open enrollment time again—but what if you could skip it? For many, this is the time of year to sort through health plans, premiums, deductibles, and coverage for the year ahead. But there are alternatives to traditional health insurance where enrollment is not limited to a few weeks each year. On the next Faith & Finance Live, Rob West and Lauren Gajdek explain one of them. Then, it’s on to calls. That’s Faith and Finance Live . . . biblical wisdom for your financial decisions. That’s weekdays at 4pm Eastern/3pm Central on Moody Radio.
