Why is health insurance important?
Health insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company. When you buy a plan, the company agrees to pay part of your medical costs when you get sick or hurt.
There are other important benefits of health insurance. Plans available through the Connect For Health Colorado Marketplace (and most other plans) provide free preventive care, like vaccines, screenings, and check-ups. They also cover some costs for prescription drugs. Also, having health insurance can help you get access to a medical provider who can get to know you and your individual medical needs.
