Health Insurance : Consider the Contingencies

What would you do, if you have to go for an emergency medical treatment and find yourself short of money?

I am a 23-year old healthy person. But I know, health problems can come anytime. I was aware of this fact, and looking back, I understand I was wise enough to acknowledge that and thus to apply for a health insurance at the right time, last year.

Health insurance is definitely an important decision because your health is your most valuable asset and you cannot afford to lose it due to financial scarcity in the face of rising medical costs.

I got the insurance policy after I passed the medical screening test a year ago. However, in March this year, that I was diagnosed with prediabetes. I am rather young for this disease, but then it can happen to anyone anytime. Irregular lifestyle or risen stress levels can be an obvious reason to it.

Anyway, having got a health insurance, I feel much safer with the regular medical checkups and all the major costs of treatment covered by it.

You have taken a right decision and at right time. If you would have not opted for a health insurance scheme at that time then it will be too late as insurance provider will not at all offer a policy after knowing your health problem or may charge too much.
