individual health insurance

It is a fact that people in the 25-34 age group often don't have health insurance. This is not because they can't afford it, but is because they think that since they are young and healthy, they don't need insurance. This is most definitely not true. One catastrophic illness or accident could wipe out their financial stability in one moment. Having health insurance protects you from things that would otherwise devastate you financially and make it difficult or impossible to recover from.
