Why should you buy health insurance at an early age?
A thread.👇(1/n)
#1 Better prices
Since the insurer is at a lower risk of getting claims, you can get a large cover at low premiums. But do note that these will increase with age.
#2 Comprehensive covers
Healthcare costs keep rising, so your company cover may fall short. Getting an individual cover early can provide you with adequate protection over and above your corporate plan. You’ll also be in a secure spot after retirement.
#3 Waiting period problem
By buying while young and healthy, you cross the waiting period for illnesses well in advance. Later on, you can fully avail benefits if the need arises.
#4 Bonus
If you continue with the same policy for years, most insurers give cumulative no-claim bonuses. Think- 10-50% bonus every year (up to a limit). Can’t say no to that!
#4 Better Financial Planning
With health insurance, you’re pretty sorted for unforeseen medical bills. So, you can focus on finding other uses for your money, like long-term investments. And, you have tax benefits too.
#5 Lifestyle
There’s pollution, global warming, and whatnot now. Coupled with today’s hustle culture, even young people are falling prey to heart and lung diseases.
In fact, Cardiologists say that over the last 10 years, they’ve seen a stark increase in people in their 20s and 30s having heart attacks. A health insurance policy can be of help here.

44% of people from our recent poll believe that one should choose a term #insurance plan with '2 cr cover till 85' over '3 cr till 65', assuming they cost the same.
But that might not be such a smart move, financially speaking, and here's why. 👇 (1/n)
The thing is that a term insurance plan is most effective when your absence deals a financial blow to your family.
God forbid, if something unfortunate happens to you when you're in your 40s or 50s, your children might be young & your spouse may be unable to single-handedly bear the brunt of it all.
You’re a diligent policyholder. You make timely premium payments. So, if the need arises, you’ll obviously expect your insurance company to meet your claims in full.
But, one question looms over you: will my claims be thrown under the bus if my insurer goes under? (2/7)
The answer’s no. Tell you why.
See, it’s not like someone decides to start an insurance company today, & it materializes tomorrow. There are strict regulations at play here.
