Medical Insurance
A Class… or C class ?
You need medical insurance because you cannot predict what your medical bills will be.
If you have health insurance, you will have peace of mind in knowing that you are protected from most of these costs.
You should not wait until you or a family member becomes seriously ill to try to purchase health insurance.
Some people say, I do not need medical insurance because I’m young and healthy now. I will wait till sickness strikes me before I buy medical insurance. But the thing is, once you have a serious illness, no insurers will insure you. Ironical, isn’t it?
Things to look out for when you buy medical insurance
