Health Insurance

Health care is expensive and few individuals can afford to pay the full costs. Having health insurance allows you to get the treatment you need without incurring huge medical bills.
Most Americans have private health insurance or participate in public programs, such as Medicare or Medicaid, but many Americans are uninsured due to finances and/or pre-existing conditions.
Under the Affordable Care Act, all Americans can get health insurance regardless of income or health history.
Health care costs are soaring and only the richest of the rich could pay out of pocket for medical expenses. The most routine visits to the doctor cost a couple of hundred dollars, the more serious illnesses can generate a four-figure bill and giving birth or suffering a heart attack can cost five figures.
