This can make this form of health insurance more affordable for individuals.
Individual health insurance can also be tailored to one’s own specific needs. Consumers are able to choose from different levels of coverage, from lower cost, catastrophic plans to more comprehensive coverage. This allows people to select the level of coverage that fits their budget. Plans can also include coverage for certain services, such as dental or vision coverage, which an employer may not cover.

Policies are typically able to be customized and amended as needed, allowing people to adjust to different life stages such as having children or getting married. Moreover, if a person becomes unemployed they can maintain their coverage even if their employer does not offer health insurance benefits.
Finally, purchasing individual health insurance can help people to build a financial safety net. If they become sick or injured, having coverage can help to reduce their medical debt and prevent endangering their financial security.
