Many people think of health insurance in terms of covering doctor’s appointments and prescription drugs, but the most important function of health insurance is, arguably, to cover catastrophic emergencies.
The images of towns ravaged and people struggling to protect themselves against Hurricane Sandy are striking reminders of the power of nature and of our own fragility. While it may be easy for Californians to view Sandy as a distant event, disasters can happen anywhere, and having California medical insurance is essential.
Earthquakes are the West Coast’s equivalent of tornados and hurricanes in the rest of the country, and they can and do cause major property damage, injuries, and loss of life. For uninsured individuals and families, this can mean a cascade of medical bills that could be potentially devastating.
Aside from natural disasters, emergencies can happen anytime, and it’s important to be prepared. A person is involved in a major car accident could require several weeks in the hospital followed by physical therapy—the cost for these services could easily add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
