Healthcare Bargain Hunters

In these days of difficulty making ends meet, it seems we are becoming more frugal about spending our healthcare dollars, too.

An article in USA Today points out that 20% of women, and 15% of men will take the time to shop around for better prices, comparing the cost of a doctor visit, medical tests and medications.

Good for them!

Healthcare is the one area where most of us consumers just don't take the steps we should to be sure our dollars are going the furthest. There are some great tools out there to help us spend our healthcare dollars wisely, but clearly, most of us are not using them.

Double checking our doctors' bills, using generic drugs, even counting our pills when they arrive -- these are all great tools for controlling our health expenses.

What healthcare money have you saved lately?
