There are different reasons why having health insurance coverage is a must. According to the Institute of Medicine, people who are covered by a health insurance program have a better health status and are able to improve their lives. Families who do not have health insurance coverage have the financial burden of paying medical bills out of pocket; especially with unexpected illnesses or injuries. Medical services can grow to become quite expensive. IOM studies show that an estimated 18,000 people die annually that are uninsured. Many of these people avoid seeking necessary treatment for fear of the costs. It's the lack of regular medical attention that contributes to their deteriorating health. When an individual or a family is covered by a medical insurance plan, they have the opportunity to get timely medical care such as weekly checkups. A covered person also pays much less for drug prescriptions since this is usually covered by their health plan.

For many reasons, medical care is just more easily received when a person is covered by health...more

Not everyone will suffer a critical illness, but the thoughts of what would happen if you were to suffer are unthinkable. An illness can occur at any age and therefore we need to be prepared for such a possibility, however this may all come down to the cost of critical illness insurance.The cost of critical illness insurance will vary from one person to the age, as the price of the insurance is dependent on a number of different factors, such as date of birth, gender and smoker status. There are a large proportion of people within the UK, who do not have such cover in place, and what would happen to them, their children but also their lifestyle if the household income were to be cut.
