With all of the hot discussion about Obamacare and national health insurance coverage, it seems as though this is the perfect opportunity to discuss why having health insurance is an absolute must for anyone.
Unfortunately, many people think they don’t need health insurance because they never get sick or have had a serious health condition. But if there’s one thing you never want to take for granted, it’s your health! You never know what will happen when you walk out the door every day, and that’s exactly why having health insurance is so very important!
Now we don’t mean to be morbid here, but we have to here in order to make our point. Just think, one moment you’re feeling great,and then the next you feel your chest tighten as you struggle to breathe for a few minutes before calling an ambulance. You’re rushed to the emergency room,where a doctor informs you that you’ve suffered a heart attack. After a battery of tests and tons of medication, you’re sent to a hospital bed to recover. See, things can happen in the blink of an eye.
Just think about everything that was associated with your time in the hospital, and then,chances are, this fact will hit you square between the eyes: How much is this going to cost me? Well, probably a whole heck of a lot more that if you had health insurance!
If you have health insurance, most of your cost will be covered by the insurance company, but paying even a small percentage of $1 million will put a dent in your pocketbook.
Next time you choose to that fast food joint over a healthy alternative,remember that a well-balanced diet and plenty of exercise will likely turn out to be a worthwhile investment in the long run.
