Consider your budget when you choose a plan

Blue Shields offers many types of insurance plans to subscribers. You can find insurance that includes prescription coverage, and other types of insurance that does not. If you are looking for basic coverage that will cover you and your family at the hospital or at the doctors you can find all the coverage you need with Blue Shield.

Set a budget that is affordable for your family at this time. If it is $400 or $600 per month, start with the plans that offer the benefits for this price. If you want to go to a higher benefit level, read through the information and make your choice based on first your budget, and then your needs. Because if you are unable to make the payments your coverage will lapse and then you will have no coverage at all. As your budget increases you can change your insurance plan later.

Listing of all Blue Shield providers are listed on the Blue Shield site for every state where Blue Shield is accepted.

Other ways to make your bathroom pleasant

 Add fresh flowers or flowering plants to the room.
 Include wall vases, old watering cans or window boxes to hold your favorite flowers. If your bathroom has a linen closet with a door, replace the door with a framed trellis or a reproduction of a Victorian screen door.
 Attach a beveled mirror to the wall over the sink and frame it with tiles.
 Make a big change with your shower curtain. A cloth curtain will be more expensive, but it will also look better, adding a truly classy note. Next best will be a nylon/cotton curtain. Either of these now come in a variety of styles and colors. Don t bother with plastic –  they look cheap, and they don’t wear well. A clear shower curtain will be just plain tacky.
 With a multi-colored curtain, choose new towels and bathmats in colors that reflect those colors. For a striped shower curtain, get some solid towels in coordinating colors. Don t match the pattern exactly, though, because it will look like too much.

You might well think of a few more ways to add your touch. Feel free to get creative and try new things. Your house, and especially the bathroom, are a statement of your style and personality that family and friends will experience up close and personally. Don t doubt your ability to express yourself!
