What You Have To Know About Health Insurance
Always remember that insurance costs a lot but having none costs more.
There are a few ways to save money on health insurance, but having no coverage isn't one of them. Even the medical bills from a minor car accident can deplete your savings, while a major illness can push you into bankruptcy.
If and when your employer offers health insurance, don’t hesitate - grab it.
Employer-subsidized group coverage is almost always a better deal than anything you can get on your own, even if you're young and healthy. If you're not young and healthy, it's definitely a better deal.
There is no such thing as standard coverage health insurance. Benefits and costs vary widely from plan to plan. If you have choices, you'll have to examine each one closely to find the best deal.
What your health insurance covers is just as important as what you pay up front. Ultimately, the cheapest plan is the one with the best price for the benefits you're most likely to use.
You can count on your health insurance to cover you for a hospital stay. Most policies cover doctor visits, but benefits for mental health, prescription drugs and dental care are strictly optional.
