How Important Is Health Insurance? 
That is a great question ! Health insurance is the best defense against a medical emergency that destroys your financial stability . 60 % of all bankruptcies are caused by health emergencies , and the costs that arise from them . If you are one of the 60 % of Americans that have less than $ 3000 to your name , or part of the 77 % that are living paycheck to paycheck , your health insurance is worth whatever you pay for it . I sincerely hope that you have some . Thanks for asking !
