| My Deductible Has Been Met |
|
D: Good morning, Vicki.
V: Good morning, Don.
D: It's a beautiful day outside, and a good one inside since we're starting our day with Power for Today.
V: Yes. This morning's author talks about the frustrations of insurance companies.
D: I think I understand her feelings.
V: She says that she received a shocking bill from the doctor, even though she had "met her deductible." Can you explain what she means by that?
D: Okay. The "deductible" is the amount you pay first before the insurance company begins to pay.
V: I see. It is called "deductible" because it is "deducted" (or subtracted) from the rest of the bill.
D: Right. With medical bills, when a person pays this amount first, we say that he or she has "met his deductible."
V: Got it. In the author's case, she had already met her deductible for the year, and she still gets charged.
D: She spent several days trying to see what happened. Finally, her "deductible" showed up.
V: I bet she was glad about that.
D: Indeed she was! Insurance companies can be so frustrating. There are "premiums" (or the monthly bills to keep the insurance).
V: There are also "co-pays" (where the person pays some of the amount, and the insurance pays some of the amount).
D: It can really be confusing. But there is also a great spiritual lesson here too.
V: I think I know what it is. If we have "obeyed the Gospel" (which means to follow Jesus completely), then our premium for salvation has been paid "in full" (or completely).
D: You know. God's insurance plan is the best plan of all!
V: You're right. Well, time to start a new day. God bless yours! |
