Health insurance is a financial arrangement that provides coverage for medical expenses incurred by individuals or groups. It functions as a contract between the insured and an insurance company or government program, wherein the policyholder pays regular premiums in exchange for comprehensive or partial coverage of medical costs. Health insurance offers protection against the high expenses associated with healthcare, including doctor visits, hospitalization, surgeries, prescription medications, and preventive services. It ensures that individuals have access to necessary medical care without facing exorbitant out-of-pocket costs. Health insurance plays a vital role in promoting affordable and accessible healthcare, offering peace of mind and financial security to individuals and families in times of illness or injury.
