What happens if I don’t have health insurance?
Not having health insurance can lead to serious financial consequences:
High Medical Bills: Routine check-ups or emergencies can become extremely costly without insurance.
Medical Debt: Unpaid bills can damage your credit score, affecting future financial opportunities.
Limited Access to Care: Some providers may be less willing to treat uninsured patients, especially for non-emergency services.
It’s always better to have coverage to protect yourself from unexpected healthcare costs. In addition some states might have penalties for not having health insurance for a long period of time.
