|  |  |  | | Don’t Take Chances! One thing is certain - the risk of going without health insurance, even for a short time, is too great to take. Even if you’re young and healthy, or you almost never need to see a doctor, it is definitely not a good idea to take chances. An unexpected accident or illness can occur without warning. Once it does, it will be too late to qualify for individual health insurance and prospective employers may not want to hire you if you need extensive medical care and treatment.
According to the American Bankruptcy Institute, medical expenses are among the leading reasons for personal bankruptcy filings. | | |  | | |
