Need for larger emergency funds

Explanation:

As described in the question, a health insurance plan has its own pros and cons. A health insurance plan relieves our tension about the payments if costly medicines or treatments are required. On the other hand, if a person does not utilize the health insurance as he's not getting sick then it seems as just a waste of money to pay for the insurance. However, if a person does not have insurance then he will have to figure our saving money for any kind of emergency. Also, this sum should be large as we know that without insurance treatment of emergency kind situation would require a lot of money.
