Health Insurance

In this article we are going to talk about the health insurance.

This type of insurance presupposes that the insurer will pay the

medical expenses of the purchaser if this person becomes sick

because of some pre-established causes or accidents. The insurer

can be a government agency or, more often than not, a private

company. The modern health care systems usually work with

private companies. We can say that the health insurance is a

very polemical type of insurance because there is an open

conflict between the company's struggle to stay in business and

the need of the purchaser to stay healthy. It is believed that

because of this conflict the laws have to be reinforced,

especially the regulations of this type of companies. It is also

true that a lot of companies are acting more to get a profit

without paying too much attention to the consumer's needs.

When you sign a health insurance policy, you have a legal

contract with the company, which states that this company has to

pay all the claims, which are proven to be valid without any

hesitation. It is true, that a lot of companies try to fool

people by purchasing re-insurance. They do this because they

want to protect the company from falling apart due to a

catastrophic event. However, the insurance company is obliged to

pay the medical costs of the insured. There is no possibility

for them to avoid their legal obligations just because they fear

of bankruptcy. On the other hand, there has been shown that

these health insurance companies are quite right to fear of

bankruptcy because most of those who seek for health insurance

are those people, who already have medical problems or are

likely to have medical problems in the near future.

In the case of government health agencies the situation is

slightly different. In this case, the difference of risk is not

very important because they all get covered. But this system is

considered to be less productive because it introduces the moral

hazard issue. People, who are in favor of public health

insurance, are of the opinion that people that have private

insurance take less care about their health. These people also

say that the private insurance's cost rises when there are more

sick people who get insured than healthy. Thus, it is believed

that people can keep the prices down by trying to stay healthy

by leading a healthy life.
