Well I would typically argue that these two words should not be in the same sentence together. I mean how can you put a price on good health. It's what most of us want and strive for. Some of us get dealt hereditary bad luck some of us are just prone to health problems. But a good portion of us can prevent health problems with taking steps such as health screenings.
The truth is in the US medical care is top notch but not accessible to everyone. So money will remain in the same sentence with health until things change in our health care system. But I digress.
How can you head off the potential for money woes when it comes to your health. I go back to the idea of health screening. Preventive health can go beyond eating healthy and exercise. It can involve doing a family health tree and investing in preventive health screening. I did one years ago with my uncle to trace health issues and we found a history of sickle cell anemia and high blood pressure. With preventive health screening I was able to determine if I carried the sickle cell trait and as for blood pressure I learned how to use a blood pressure cup and I learned what the number meant whenever I had my blood pressure taken at a doctors visit. Plus whenever a doctor asked for questions about family history I knew what to tell him. Talk about being in control of your health.
