health insurance

Health insurance in the United States generally operates by the insured paying a premium, or regular payment, to the insurance provider in exchange for full or partial payment of health care. Two popular health insurance formats include the HMO (health maintenance organization) and PPO (preferred provider organization.) Medicare is a government provided health insurance system that is eligible to those meeting certain criteria. Not all countries run healthcare the same as the United States. In England there is government paid healthcare through their National Health Service. For more info on health insurance text 542542 (costs $1.49 plus any standard messaging charges from your carrier.)
