What is health insurance?
• No universal healthcare in the U.S.
• Health insurance protects you from owing a lot of money to doctors or hospitals if you get sick or hurt and need medical care. Health insurance can also help you pay for regular check-ups, laboratory tests, vaccines, and prescription medication.
