  • How important is medical insurance?

    i heard it's real expensive... is it really necessary? i'm a healthy young male and i'm not going to get cancer or anything any time soon so what do you think? and at what age should i start getting some? how many people here got medical insurance?

    Unless you want to count on County Hospital, very.

        it's so expensive though and chances are i won't have nothing happen to me...

        i mean doctors will help me in an emergency whether i got insurance or not and thats ultimately what matters... i'm sure i could somehow rummage up enough money for the bill...? or is an uninsured patient's bill that much higher or in other words, what percentage of the bill does the insurance company pay?

          I'll tell you something, not readily known.
          You pay a hospital/doctor in cash, they'll cut the bill significantly.

              Depends on the institution involved, maybe as much as half.
              They get their money, and no insurance to mess with and wait in.

                  I just thought of something.
                  Minimum car insurance is required to renew inspection stickers, tags, licenses now on car use.
                  What if medical is next ? By whatever method.
                  As I say, it just occured to me.

                      In Texas it is. Liability insurance to renew a thing.

                        actually you know what... it is mandatory in pennsylvania cause i saw commercials warning about how your car would get taken if you dont got insurance... and now there's all these "minimum coverage" car insurance companies that say "we keep you legal for less"

                          There you go. I'm actually surprised it isn't nation-wide.
                          Then again, nothing much else is, so why would this be different?

                            It might be nation-wide. I know car insurance is mandatory in Utar.
