The document discusses the importance of health insurance. It notes that medical costs for major diseases and surgeries like angioplasty, open heart surgery, or cancer treatment can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of rupees. Without adequate health insurance, options for paying these costs in case of serious illness include spending savings, selling property, borrowing from relatives or financial institutions at high interest rates. The document argues that for about 20 rupees per day, health insurance can ensure access to the best treatment without depleting hard-earned savings or taking on high debt.
