Health Insurance is very important for everyone to have. If you get sick or hurt yourself at home and have to go to the doctor or an Urgent Care or Emergency Room, the cost of just walking in is very expensive. Then if you require x rays or any other tests the costs climb even higher. You are charged for any medications, equipment and supplies that are used on you. These prices are nowhere near as cheap as you could go to a store and purchase a box or bottle of them. Without Health Insurance you are responsible for the entire bill and you will need to make the payments that will normally shock you when the itemized bill comes in the mail.
