Hey guys, wassup?
So I've been thinking to get a health insurance but I couldnt make a decision if it is needed. Considering the money it requires every month; I dont wanna buy it if its really not that necessary. I am a pretty healthy person. However, I just dont wanna take a chance if I get into serious medical situations like accidents or anything. So, I request you all to help me on this. Do I really need a health insurance? If yes, which one do you suggest and how much would it cost? What should I keep in mind before getting one like what it covers and stuff? Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Thanks

As far as i know, health insurance is usually provided by the university itself for international students. So check on that!  usually it's around $1000 per year for the insurance. (most don't cover dental and optics).


I suggest you take the health insurance, because if you were to land in the hospital, you could go bankrupt. Even an ambulance ride alone is around $1000. Once, my friend had to go the hospital for "stone" surgery, she had to pay around $2k -3k out of pocket after the insurance covered the remaining fees.
