Health Insurance
Why is health insurance important?
Health insurance provides you with an affordable way for you and your family to stay healthy and get medical care when your sick. It protects you and your family from the high cost of health care. In some cases, medical bills can be financially devastating. Many people don't even think about health insurance until they need it.
Protect Your Future
A trip to the hospital can be much more costly than you might expect. Here are some facts:
The average cost of a trip to the emergency room for an adult is about $700, not including any test or hospitalization, which may increase the bill to over $1,000.
A broken leg can cost up to $7,500.
Average expenses for childbirth are up to $8,800 and well over $10,000 for c-section delivery.
The total cost of a hip replacement can run a whopping $32,000.
The good news is with the right plan, you can protect yourself from most of these and other types of medical bills.
Get the Care You Need
Many people who do not have health insurance simply don't get the medical care they need. They may be worried about the cost or they don't have access to the best resources. One of the key benefits of health insurance is access to a large network of doctors and hospital, as well as other handy resources to help you stay healthy. Other benefits of health insurance include:
Being able to quickly and easily find the help you need close to home.
Peach of mind and less stress during a tough time because you know you're covered.
Access to affordable care and health information to keep you happy and healthy.
The bottom line is…
health is the most valuable asset of all.
With a good health insurance plan, you help protect the health and financial future of you and your family for a lifetime.
