What are the pros and cons of health insurance?

Health insurance is a great thing if you can afford it. A insured patient gets a different level of service than an uninsured patient. The fact is your chance of dying from a life threatening illness is 7 times greater if you don't have health insurance. The only con to health insurance is most people have to pay for it out of pocket; if it's not provided by an employer. I suggest you go to one of the online sites and shop several companies at one time.
