Health insurance is beneficial, given the rising healthcare cost, but not necessary. Your employer may provide private health insurance through group health insurance coverage, or you may purchase private health insurance directly from the insurance company for yourself and your family. Elderly and disabled persons may be eligible for coverage through the federal Medicare program. The joint state-federal Medicaid program helps certain individuals, including disabled persons and low-income elderly persons, pay for long-term care and in-home healthcare.
