Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals and families may not obtain privately paid insurance because they live in a state where insurance companies are not required to offer it or,especially if they are members of a high-risk group,because they cannot afford it.For low-income and marginal middle-income individuals,the premium costs are simply unaffordable.Private insurance is usually purchased only by persons who have regular employment and an adequate income to do so.Services provided at free clinics cannot meet all of the client's potential health care needs.It is highly recommended that all persons have health insurance because of the large expense associated with receiving care.
