Expecting? How to Choose a Life Insurance Policy

Private health insurance is a popular insurance component, but it isn't for everyone. Learn the pros and cons of having it, and decide if it's right for you.

It covers medical expenses 
A private health insurance policy covers certain medical expenses that public health system or Medicare doesn't.


It covers (some) hospital expenses

And now for the cons - and there's a big one:


The cost
