So, what really do we mean by Health Insurance?

By Brian C Wilson


More people in America started seeing health insurance from another angle in 1993. It was as a result of the emphasis placed on health care as the major program of the administration headed by President Clinton. His plan remains a major issue in the country in spite of the fact that it was stalled by Congress.

In essence, what actually defines health insurance?

It is simply a plan designed to pay the costs of health care services. This type of insurance offsets the bills from hospitals and doctors. With a health insurance policy, you are protected from financial hardships that can arise from unexpected medical bills.

The sole suppliers of health insurance are the Federal government and private institutions. Mostly only the people who are poor and the elderly can benefit from the government's provision of health insurance. If you are not poor or elderly then you are more likely to obtain your health insurance from your office of employment.

Generally, people pay for health insurance in different ways. For workers, it must be by authorizing their employers to deduct a specified amount from their wages. Sometimes companies foot the bill for the direct cost of the health care for their employees.

Does this mean if you are not covered by government plan, and you do not receive health insurance through your job, you are out in the cold? Far from it. You can receive health coverage by paying premium directly to an insurance company.

It will be okay if health insurance protection is as effortless as this, because nearly everybody will have access to one form of health insurance or the other. Apparently, this is not so. Nature is said to abhor a vacuum, but it appears to also disallow a state of happiness. Also in America. This has resulted in many citizens not having health insurance.
