Build a Health Emergency Fund Before It’s Too Late (Doctor Explains)

From Leonid Kim MD.

Just like you need money set aside for emergencies, you need reserves built into your body before a health crisis happens. In this video, I go over why your health and your finances are directly connected, especially in our broken healthcare system where one hospitalization can change everything.
Healthcare is getting more and more expensive and even with ‘good’ health insurance, we’re still one insurance denial away from financial catastrophe.

It’s now more important than ever to build a stronger body that will increase our odds of recovery and a body that will have us spend less time in the medical system. The more you have in your health emergency fund, the more likely you’ll be able to bounce back from a major illness, recover from surgery, and beat cancer.
