Today's question: If I'm healthy, do I really need health insurance?
It's a fair question, especially if you rarely visit the doctor or take prescription medications.
Here's how I look at it.
Health insurance isn't just about covering routine doctor visits. It's also about protecting yourself financially when something unexpected happens.
You might be perfectly healthy today, but accidents, emergency surgeries, and unexpected medical conditions don't exactly give us advance notice.
That doesn't mean everyone needs the same type of coverage.
Your age, health, budget, and financial situation all play a role in determining what makes sense for you.
My advice? Don't just think about what healthcare costs you today. Think about what you could reasonably afford if something unexpected happened tomorrow.
