It is a very common thought among the professionals who are below the critical age of mid-thirties that they may not need a health insurance plan. After all, till the time one really need to knock the doors of a nursing home or a hospital, one seldom is worried about health insurance.
However reality is quite different in these days. The Indian population is geared up to change the order in the world economy, and that is solely by the contribution of the young service and business men (and women) of India. So what is hidden within these words of inspiration is that our youth and symbols of health actually work in sectors (like IT, ITeS, Financial services, etc) which are indeed very demanding in terms of hours and commitment which is needed at the office.
The net result is a gradual increase of high blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels in the “young and healthy” which often goes undetected. The list of such degenerative diseases continue. And then suddenly when the issues start surfacing, it is a tough call to handle all the concerns. Not just that one faces health issues, but also the huge implications of unplanned financial expenditure if any unforeseen challenges happen.
Insurance, precisely is for that uncertainty that lingers on everybody, all the time due to medical externalities. Mishap often don’t see your age or present health status. In fact, due to stress and time spent travelling for work, so many accidents happen these days, which can further cause an immense stress in terms of unplanned expenditure.
