Health insurance is one of the most familiar types of insurance out there.
Just about everyone gets sick at some point, and health insurance provides a huge safety net to make sure that those who need it get medical attention. Not having health insurance means you take on the risk of running up huge bills you might not be able to pay. It also means that you might face denial of treatment you or a family member needs. Either of these is reason enough to purchase health insurance. There are many different types of policies, and many ways of paying for them.
