Health Insurance Who Needs It life-line.org 2006-05-16

Health insurance is one type of insurance you're pretty much guaranteed to use. We all need medical attention from time to time, and some of us need it quite frequently. When care is needed, you want to focus on getting better ­ not on how you're going to come up with the money to pay your medical bills. A good health insurance plan allows you to focus on what's most important, your physical well being. Is there anyone who doesn't need health insurance? Not really. Even if you're young, healthy and haven't had to see a doctor in years, you never know when you might be involved in an accident or be diagnosed with a serious medical condition. While your health insurance coverage will pay for things that aren't too costly like routine doctor's visits or lab tests, the main reason to have coverage is to have protection against the potentially catastrophic expenses of serious illness or injury.
