Insurance Basics: Home
Your employer may offer more than one health plan, or you may be shopping for your own individual plan.
Health insurance protects you from paying the full cost of your care. But, you will likely still have to pay some money out of your pocket. Almost all plans call for “cost sharing”. That means your insurer pays for part of your care, and you pay for part.
