Do You Really Need Health Insurance?

Posted in Your Health by thehealthquote on the October 31, 2007

Each day, we speak with individuals that are uninsured. To many, it is not a big deal. However, most people know the fact of the matter: Health insurance is vital. It is not worth taking the risk of going uninsured. For an affordable cost, you can protect your finances, your health and your future!

Don’t take the risk of being one of the uninsured people out there. One trip to the emergency room can leave you with bills in the thousands! Even if you don’t get sick often, you can’t ever prepare for an accident or an emergency. Make sure you and your family are insured so we don’t have to say, “I told you so!” ;)

Here are some reasons why you must have insurance…we hope you agree!

  • Health insurance helps to ensure that you and your family are protected against the financial hardships that may result from health care expenses.
  • Without health insurance, you may not be able to afford medical care when you need it.
  • People with health insurance are more likely to go to the hospital before their condition worsens and becomes more expensive to treat.
  • People with diabetes who do not have health insurance have a higher mortality rate than people who have diabetes and health insurance.
  • If large medical bills are not paid, the hospital can put a lien against your property.
  • You may have to seek are at county run hospitals. County run hospitals are often overcrowded and it may take hours, if not days to be seen.
  • Some colleges, universities, and international programs require proof of health insurance to be enrolled.
  • You may receive a high life insurance premium.
