Medical Insurance, Do I really need it?

Written By: Graham McKenzie on December 8, 2009 2 Comments

Never question something that is a necessity. No matter what you think or feel about medical insurance, you need to understand that first and foremost, it is a necessity and you need it! Medical insurance is not only important for you, but also for your family. Can you shoulder the heavy weight of medical costs by yourself? I didn’t think so.

Extraordinarily severe diseases are curable, even cancer which can be tamed back by current medication. But most of these medications do not come at a cheap price. They are very expensive to make and keep feeding to you, so the medical industry must charge a lot for their use.

So when the times do get tough and something life-threatening like a major operation or transplant is required, are you in the right hands? Could you shoulder the financial burden? Even if you consider yourself well off in terms of income, any major medical operation or transplant will put a serious dent in your finances.

Medical insurance will provide for you when the times get tough. They can cover most if not all of major operations and transplants as well as age related diseases and illnesses. Insurance companies will provide and make sure you live for as long as possible.

It’s a well known fact that current medication and medical technology is allowing people to live longer, healthier lives. However, this boost in average life spans does not come without a cost. Most of these long-term diseases are a constant battle, and demand medication everyday and constant medical check-ups.

People also rest easy in the reassurance that their financial burdens are taken care of by medical insurance. The insurance companies will allow you to deal with the crisis on a personal and emotional level, while the insurance takes care of the expenses.

Apply for medical insurance before your health turns for the worse. This seems like common sense, but too many people neglect to sign up for insurance until their health is a problem. However, health insurance providers are much more willingly to accept your policy when you are in a good state of health.

Insurance companies must also look out for themselves. Would you continue to throw away money? That is what you are asking insurance companies to do if they constantly protect and pay for a sick man or woman who just came begging to the insurance industry. But would you expect a close friend or relative to help you out, one with whom you’ve had a deep connection for years? Of course you would.

Develop a lifelong bond with your insurance company. Form that relationship early on in your life when you are healthy and full of life. The insurance company will return the loyalty by providing when you’re in a time of need.

    Ryan, thanks for dropping by. I think you have a lot of potential selling your case-study mini-site. I hope I could build some profitable ones and flip and sell. Hope to document the process and take later.
