With health insurance, you cover / transfer the risk. Health insurance is not an easy product to buy off the shelf and one requires a good understanding of its features and benefits before purchasing the right product including the amount of cover. Each individual is different and therefore one needs to understand the finer features of the product. Lower the premium and therefore the product doesn&amp;rsquo;t make sense.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
