Health insurance
When you have a health insurance you are insured against medical
expenses due to accident or illness.
Before you jump into any health insurance or medical plan you
need to do your homework. As with any insurance you need to read
the fine prints of what is covered and what is not. For example
it is not uncommon for an health insurance to only cover future
expenses.
