Being away from home for the first time is always a stressful issue. But with my Blue Cross Blue Shield card I am able to go to the doctor if my ear hurts, go to the doctor if I have strep throat. And I know for sure I'll always be covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance.
I'm Abby Neiter, I am 18 years old, and I'm a freshman in college studying visual communication. Knowing that I have Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance is a huge reassurance that I will have for the rest of my life. The other week I was at my college pharmacy and I was picking up a prescription. And I presented my Blue Cross Blue Shield card, and I immediately got a discounted rate. And I was so excited because college funds are pretty tight. So it was a great feeling.
Health insurance is affordable nowadays. There are options out there. And if you do run into something that does happen to you and your in an emergency, you can be covered by your health insurance, no problem. If I would talk to my friends I would definitely recommend Blue Cross Blue Shield because it has been the one that has helped my life and helped my health. I'm definitely going to stick with Blue Cross for the rest of my life.
