If you have health care insurance your are somewhat protected financially against sickness. Let us say you do not have health care insurance and you become sick and have to pay a tremendous hospital bill. After spending all that money, you might get sick again and this time wont have the money to cover the cost of the treatment. In a scenario like this you might be sued or a lien placed on your property in an attempt to recover the costs  of the health bills.

Another benefit of having health care insurance is the fact that your are more likely to go and visit a health facility to get preventive care or treat your ailment. Some people who do not have health care insurance wait until the problem reaches a level when they are very sick or when their condition becomes too expensive to be treated. Even in an event like this, there’s still the option of going to the county hospital, which is extremely bad. The conditions are overcrowded and you might take a long time before you are seen or treated.
