Introduction
We've all heard the saying, "Life is full of risk." That's a good thing, because it means that most of us are shielded from the kind of financial catastrophe that can ruin our lives. You might not have enough savings to pay for an unexpected hospital stay or get your car fixed in an emergency. Luckily, there are ways to protect yourself from those bad situations: health insurance. Here's what you need to know about how this critical aspect of personal finance works.
The goal of insurance is to protect you from the unexpected.
The goal of insurance is to protect you from the unexpected. Your life is full of risks, and insurance can help you mitigate some of those risks by spreading them out over time. When you get sick or injured, it's better to have a lot of money in your savings account than a few thousand dollars in cash on hand.
Insurance also provides peace-of-mind when someone else's medical bills pile up—without having to worry about paying them all yourself!
Of course there are plenty more reasons why everyone should have some kind of health insurance coverage: It can help pay for unexpected expenses like hospital stays or surgeries; it may even save lives by preventing people from dying prematurely because they don't have access whatsoever...or even just having enough money saved up in case something happens where they need urgent care right away (like car accidents).
Insurance lets you cover the costs of things that would be extremely expensive without it.
Insurance is crucial to your financial well-being. It helps you cover the costs of things that would be extremely expensive without it, like cancer treatment or hospital visits.
Insurance can also help cover things that are not so expensive but still important: car repairs and replacing a phone screen. For example, if you have car insurance and get into an accident or get hit by another driver's negligence (like driving under the influence), then your insurance company will pay for all the damages done by their insured person's actions—and possibly even provide some financial assistance if there was no other option for paying these bills on time (such as filing bankruptcy). This means that having this type of coverage will make sure your medical bills don't bankrupt you too!
Insurance lets you spread risk across a large group of people.
As a whole, insurance companies pool risk by dividing it among many people. So if you're afraid of getting sick or injured and need to pay for your own medical bills, you can buy a policy that pays for it.
Insurance companies use actuarial tables to estimate the cost of claims—a process called "risk assessment." The tables tell them how much money they might lose on average when someone gets sick or is injured in a certain way. They also use these numbers as benchmarks to determine how much insurance premiums should be based on an individual's age and health status (for example: older people tend to have higher rates). Insurance companies pay out claims as they come up, but they make a profit by charging more than their customers actually pay out in premiums each year; this means that even though most people don't want high-risk insurance policies (like life), there will always be those who do!
You can choose what level of risk you want to take on, and how much risk the insurance company takes on.

You can also decide how much of the risk the insurance company takes on.
The amount you pay out of pocket depends on the type of policy that you choose.
There are many types of insurance plans with different kinds of coverage.

Disability income benefits may be provided by employers or workers' compensation plans in case you become disabled from working or from an accident at work. Umbrella liability policies provide additional protection for your assets in case you are sued as a result of an accident where no one else's fault was involved (in other words: you were just doing your job). Commercial auto policies offer protection against third party lawsuits that arise out of accidents on company vehicles while traveling on business trips away from home (such as when driving across country). Pet owners can purchase pet health care plans too - even if there's no vet nearby! Travelers who like to travel abroad but don't want all those pesky passport forms getting lost in the mail should get travel insurance coverage instead; renters need renter’s/landlord tenant’s policies too

You may be surprised by how much insurance costs, but once you understand the basics of what your plan covers and what benefits are included (or excluded), it will make more sense than ever before!
