Individual health insurance coverage assures that you get the care you need and protects you from heavy financial losses. You can obtain group health coverage offered by your employer or choose to purchase individual health coverage from an agent or insurer. The benefits of your health insurance coverage depend as much on the type of plan you choose as on how you obtain it. Individual plans can be a good option if you are self-employed or work for a company that doesn't offer a health plan.
