Insurance plans go from excellent almost full-coverage to very poor plans that make the patient pay for just about everything. Insurance tends to be very expensive in America, but it is impossible to enter the country without it and in case of emergency it is especially essential. Many plans are offered through companies for their employees and usually offer the best coverage with automatic deductions being made out of their paycheck.

If the company you are employed with does not offer this program, insurance can be purchased independently from a number of providers. The Yellow Pages have a complete listing of insurance companies in your area. Check into plans carefully to be clear on exactly what you are covered for and what kinds of co-pays are expected.

Travel insurance is a good option if you are planning on just visiting another country. Travel Insurance ensures the safety and worry-free nature of your trip. Without appropriate travel insurance, you may be exposed to significant financial liability. You will find more details in our Travel Guide.
