Health insurance
When you have a health insurance you are insured against medical expenses due to accident or illness.
Before you jump into any health insurance or medical plan you need to do your homework. As with any insurance you need to read the fine prints of what is covered and what is not. For example it is not uncommon for an health insurance to only cover future expenses.

Most reimburse some of the basic charges due to illness.
In most state it is often advised to have some form of private medical health insurance.
Health Insurance around the world
Every nation has it's own policies when it comes to health insurance. In Europe, for example, most member nation has some form of national health insurance. But that kind of health insurance is usually very limited and only offers basic services. The cost of a nation health insurance is usually offset by an extra form of tax.
Not all countries offer health insurance, even basic health insurance. This is often true in most developing countries.
