Sadly, not many people in this country have great health insurance.
Even if you have employer-sponsored insurance, it seems something is always lacking, or out-of-pocket expenses go up while the quality of health insurance goes down. Most people have limited coverage, deductibles up to $5,000 per individual, no prescription coverage, or no insurance at all!
Being uninsured is a growing disaster in this country. A catastrophe in the making. Being uninsured is a gamble and what's at stake is not just your health, but that of those you love. What if you have family members who depend on you.
And being uninsured can affect every aspect of your life. It can ruin your credit report. Make it difficult to find a job. It can leave you homeless. It can even kill you.
According to Norton’s Bankruptcy Adviser, out of the estimated one million people who filed for bankruptcy in 1999, half (500,000) did so due to mounting medical bills.
And this can affect everyone. You might have insurance today but not tomorrow. A co-worker, friend, or family member may find they are uninsured. So everyone needs to read this because if you can use this information, you may be able to help someone who does.
