Sickness insurance is a wise investment.
Most people work hard to earn their paycheck, and many people live paycheck to paycheck. If a illness requires hospitalization and prevents a person from working, he or she might not have personal days, sick days, or vacation days to take. That means they have to be off work without pay. That means that their paycheck will be significantly lower than usual. That means that they may have difficulty paying the bills that they intended to and were supposed to pay with that particular paycheck. Sickness insurance is a wise investment. When a person becomes ill and requires hospitalization, the insurance pays for each day that he or she must stay in the hospital. It makes up for the money that will be missed on his or her paycheck.
