It is important to get health insurance for yourself and members of your immediate family. Insurance helps to protect you from high health care costs, especially those related to chronic medical conditions or the need for hospitalization.
You should get health insurance for the same reason that you have auto insurance or homeowners insurance - to protect your savings and income.
How Do I Get Health Insurance?
Depending on your age, job status, and financial condition, there are many ways that you can get health insurance, including:
* Health insurance provided by an employer. Most large companies in the U.S. provide health insurance as an employee benefit. You may be required to pay some portion of the monthly premium, or cost of the health insurance.
* Health insurance that you purchase on your own. If you are self-employed or work for a small company that does not provide health insurance, you will need to buy it on your own.
* Health insurance provided by the government. If you are 65 or older, disabled, or have little or no income, you may qualify for health insurance paid for by the government, such as Medicare and Medicaid. ...
There is a lot of talk about Health Insurance these days. Some of the Medicare Supplements, often called Medigap, cover different things. In addition, Medicare Advantage covers a number of things that are not covered by basic plans. Medigap Insurance is an insurance that covers the gaps left by Medicare. And although Medigap is a private coverage insurance, it is highly regulated by both federal and state government, and for this reason it is affordable by many seniors.
