IMPORTANCE OF MEDICAL INSURANCE

Many people including me ignore or do not understand importance of taking medical cover but wait until you are admitted to hospital that your going to realise the full importance of it.With the current economy i bet your not in the position to be able to pay such a amount of the bill.With small amount of contribution on monthly or agreed time you are sure of the bill expenses when your sick.Most of the insurance are privately but also governments all over have run this insurance for its servants.it was this week that my dad was Hospitalise and if it was not for my Mam cover we could have not managed the size of the bill
