Health Insurance


health, insurance
Health insurance is insurance against the risk of incurring medical expenses among individuals. By estimating the overall risk of health care expenses among a targeted group, an insurer can develop a routine finance structure, such as a monthly premium or payroll tax, to ensure that money is available to pay for the health care benefits specified in the insurance agreement

Having health insurance is important for several reasons. Uninsured people receive less medical care and less timely care, they have worse health outcomes, and lack of insurance is a fiscal burden for them and their families.


Having health insurance is important because coverage helps people get timely medical care and improves their lives and health. Some may believe that people always have access to medical care because they can always go to an emergency room.
Choosing the proper health insurance plan is a huge decision for most families. Keep in mind that there is no one-size-fits-all health insurance plan.
Finding the intersection of budget and need can be tough. The needs of a healthy twenty something are vastly different from the needs of a family of four, which are vastly different from a baby boomer entering retirement. Every kind of health insurance plan, be it a managed-care or fee-for-service plan, has different ways of handling every different kind of scenario.
If you choose a managed-care plan, how much more will it cost to go out of the provider network? Of course, these financial concerns are made doubly important when you begin to factor in your own health care needs. Are you caring for any dependents? How comprehensive do you want your plan to be? Do you need dental and vision plans? With careful consideration of these questions, you and your family will be able to find that health care sweet spot -- where you get the coverage you need at prices you can afford.­
