What Type of Insurance Do You Need: Health Insurance

Health insurance is a basic insurance everyone should have in the case of accident or illness that will inevitably come.  It's also important to have health insurance for preventative and wellness purposes.

Industry expert AJ Osborne spoke about needed insurance over at Cashflow2freedom.com.  He said:

"Working for an insurance firm helped me see the importance of insurance. Not only did I elect rich benefits with low deductible rates, but also elected extra insurance such as disability.

• Health Insurance:Throughout my ordeal, I racked up over a million dollar claim, had I not had health insurance my family would have had to burden this enormous cost.
• Disability Insurance:This insurance is also important to have. It seems like a frivolous expense when you initially buy the product. But having peace of mind that if you were in the hospital or became disabled in any way you could still 50-100% of your income. I say 50-100% because of Short-Term Disability and Long-Term Disability dispenses different amounts based on how long you will be or are disabled."
