One of the best things about having a full-time job is that your employer will often pay for your health insurance. This insurance isn't free. Most likely, a portion of your pay goes toward paying for it, but because you work for a company, you can get better deals through group rates.
Health insurance is just a type of insurance that pays out if the person or group insured gets sick, hurt, or dies. The insurance company isn't always a private business; it's often a government agency. Health insurance in different parts of the world is very different from one another. In Canada, health care is part of our social system and is paid for by the government. In the United States, on the other hand, most health care is paid for by private companies.
Each system has its own set of pros and cons, and depending on where you live, you might not be able to choose which one to use. Private health insurance has become one of the most talked about and debated types of insurance because of how it affects the poor, the middle class, and the wealthy. Should a person with more money be able to get better medical care and facilities? Isn't it a basic human right to have access to services like health care? I'm not sure if this debate will ever end because each side has so many pros and cons, and it's easy to see who would fight for each side and why.
