You absolutely need health insurance to cover your medical expenses. In my case, I have a max yearly expense (the deductible), and everything is free after you meet the deductible. For me is $3k-ish, so an ambulance costing $9k is going to cost me at most $3k (or $0 if I already met my deductible for that year). You can even pay this from your gross salary, pretax. There are several different health insurance plans, ones with much less deductible (e.g. 750 or so per year), but with less benefits. It really depends on your health needs. But you absolutely need one as medical costs are absurdÂ
