​5 Reasons Why Health Insurance is a Must-Buy Product

For some people, diseases aren’t as scary as the hospital bills. Healthcare has never been friendly on the pocket, nor it ever will be. Diseases come without a warning, and when they do, they do not only cause emotional and physical stress, but financial stress as well.

It’s time we realize that healthcare is becoming expensive by the day. Everybody is just an illness or accident away from exhausting their savings to become a victim to some serious financial crisis. This is where health insurance comes in.

If your goal is to create a strong financial kit, investing in health insurance is as important as investing in the best term insurance plan. While term insurance can protect your family from financial catastrophes in your absence, health insurance can do the same in your presence.

So, if you are someone who hasn’t purchased health insurance yet, you must. We’ll be providing you with all the reasons why:

  • 1. Comprehensive Cover:
  • A health insurance policy is a comprehensive policy that covers more than just your hospital bills. A health insurance policy covers pre-hospitalization, post-hospitalization charges, ambulance charges, prescription fees, and medical bills, etc.
  • Therefore, by paying a small premium, you get several benefits that can help you save money in the long run.
  • 2.Combat Inflation:
  • The development of medical technology has never come to a standstill. However, with the development, comes the rising cost. Even though healthcare has never been cheaper, it will get more expensive than what it is today. Therefore, to combat the effect of inflation on medical technology, it’s essential to buy health insurance. By paying an affordable premium each year, you can reduce the burden of medical inflation on your savings without compromising on the quality of the treatment.
  • 3.Savings for a Better Future:
  • Savings play a crucial role in the financial future. From your children’s education to their marriage, the future is full of expenses that you need your savings for. Exhausting all your savings to pay your hospital bills is not at all a wise call from a financial point of view. Since health insurance pays your medical bills, you can preserve your savings for these purposes.
  • 4.Get the Best Medical Treatment:
  • The best medical treatment involves the use of the best medical equipment, skilled doctors, expensive medicines, and top-notch medical infrastructure. However, with these features comes a heavy price tag. The best medical treatment can be expensive, and the best bet for a few illnesses. With health insurance in hand, you wouldn’t have to worry about the cost of treatment.
  • 5.Affordable Premium if You Buy it When you are Young:
  • As you grow older, you become more susceptible to illnesses, consequently increasing your chances of paying a higher premium. Therefore, it is suggested that you buy health insurance at the earliest. Most people refrain from buying health insurance when they are young because they think health insurance will not be a necessary purchase when they are young, and in the best of their health.
  • However, young age is the best time to buy health insurance as you would be paying affordable premium. You have the option to renew your health insurance policy to increase your cover as your income grows.
  • Prepare your Financial Kit with Health Insurance, the Best Term Insurance Plan and Critical Illness Rider:
  • Health insurance will come to your family’s rescue to protect them from the financial repercussions of treatment costs. However, it is not the only must-have tool in your financial kit. Other necessary tools include a critical illness cover and the best term insurance plan.
  • It’s highly suggested that you buy health insurance along with a critical illness cover. A health insurance policy will cover the treatment costs if God forbid, you are diagnosed with a critical illness after buying a health insurance policy. However, given the duration of the treatment and the cost, your health insurance cover might be inadequate. Critical illness cover can give you extra cover to meet the costs of the treatment.
  • As for term insurance cover, the best term insurance plan is yet again an essential purchase, given the fact that life is unpredictable. Even though a health insurance policy can ensure financial protection in your presence, a term insurance policy would do the same in your absence.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
