Navigating the options

Sir, – Further to recent correspondence (Letters, November 23rd) and Muiris Houston’s article “My health insurer wanted an extra €900 to maintain my plan. Time to look for options” (Health, November 18th), I was similarly confused until a few years ago I discovered a health insurance broker who knows the area extremely well. He very patiently went through everything on the phone, answered all my questions, talked me through my needs and recommended a plan for me. I have done this every year for a long time and recommend this approach. – Yours, etc,
