Purpose of the Health Insurance
Health care service is the services that every responsible government in world is thought to provide to the people. While lots of governments make what is termed as sincere effort to give level of health care services to people, reality of matter is that governments generally tend to get challenged in this role, and making it important for the individuals to find some ways of supplementing government provided healthcare services. Actually, most of governments who offer the healthcare services to citizenry are these days explicitly and asking for people who are looking these services to add something towards the provision, it is indeed hard to find out any country in world, which offer free healthcare.
There are a few countries that have privatized the healthcare systems, and with government providing a few subsidies to economically vulnerable groups. Clearly, there is an need to have a few stashed money somewhere in case you are getting quality healthcare. It is here that need for the health insurance that comes in, as the healthcare services are rather very expensive, and making it hard to finance that 'out of pocket' when need for that arises. Fact that illnesses generally tend to hit at worst possible times doesn’t help matters.
Now way health insurance works is you pay very small regular sum to insurer, under guarantee that insurer will pay medical bill in event of you, and your dependants falling ill at a point. This way, you are assured of good quality healthcare in the event of falling ill, irrespective of state of finances at a time. Granted, majority of the health insurance schemes are been designed in a way that they will cover some range of illnesses, and up to given cost, however on whole, having health insurance will make difference between accessing & not accessing good health care - consequently difference between the life and the death in worst cases of illnesses.
Failing to take the health insurance in majority of the cases can just get attributed to negligence, as majority of the health insurance schemes will charge small premiums, and amounts that one will not 'feel a pinch of.'
