Some of us are blessed working in a company that is generous who pays for their medical expenses. I was not one of them though. I have to pay for my own medical insurance, so I bought the cheapest medical insurance that I can get hold in the market.
Nowadays, medical insurance is a must if you want to get treatment in a private hospital unless you are rich enough to pay for their medical bill that will easily goes more than a thousand dollar for just a night stay in the hospital.
I still remember a month after I bought my medical insurance I was admitted to a private hospital due to dengue fever. I stayed there for 3 nights and all I was given was paracetamol and dextrose drips to keep me hydrated. The nurse came every morning to take my blood for testing to check on my platelet level. And the bills come to nearly 2k. Thank God I only have to pay for the registration fee that was only $50; the rest, covered by my medical insurance.
See the important of having a medical insurance. If not, I will have to pay the credit card company interest for a few months.
