Health Insurance - Do I Qualify ?

Health insurance like life insurance is something that many people feel that they can’t afford or they put off because they are in good health and don’t see the need of any kind of individual or family health insurance. Of course the cost of health insurance is also one factor that keeps people from getting it.

You want to take some time to look ahead and consider, what would happened if some unforeseen event happened that would require medical care without having any coverage.
Very few people have the means to pay for medical expenses and a hospital stay without medical insurance. The first place to start looking to see if you qualify for a health insurance plan would be Medicaid.

Every state has a Medicaid program and more people can qualify for this health plan where sometimes people think that they would not be able to. You can get family health insurance through Medicaid that would include doctor visits, dental work, eye care, prescriptions and many other options. You will want to apply at your local Family Services Office.

The three main groups of people that qualify for Medicaid are families with small children. Women any age who are pregnant and for children under 18 and sometimes 21 depending on the state and individual situation.
