What is Health Insurance and Why is it Important? Health insurance is a legal entitlement to payment or reimbursement for your health care costs, generally under a contract with a health insurance company.  Health insurance provides important financial protection in case you have an accident or sickness.

It may help cover a stay at a rehabilitation hospital or even a portion of home health care.
