Do you live on your own and need health insurance? Maybe you think that because you are young and healthy that you will not need insurance, but you would be wrong.
Everybody needs individual health insurance to make sure they are protected when an emergency arises.
Medical bills are very expensive and you do not want to get stuck with thousands of dollars in unpaid medical expenses and your wages being garnished because you don't have insurance.
My own father had his appendix explode when he was only 27 and he barely drank alcohol and never smoked.
Emergencies can happen and you don't want to have to depend on borrowing money and going into debt to cover your medical expenses.
Just the normal check ups and the once a year flu can cost you a few hundred dollars and that does not include any prescription drugs they might give you.
Individual health insurance is not that expensive for what it will do for you.
You will never have to worry about whether you get injured playing a sport you enjoy.
You can go to the doctor when you get sick, which can keep you from missing as much work.
Plus you will know you are covered so you will not have any worries about how you are going to pay for any health expenses.
Let's face it, we may get national health care if Barack Obama gets into office, but it is not going to be an instant thing.
Until it happens everybody needs to be covered and if you cannot afford individual health insurance, then you need to look into government options that can at least help you out.
