Medical Insurance: Four Misconceptions You Should Know


Health should be our priority and we should not limit investments we make for it. Today, we can all be exposed to serious diseases, regardless of our economic status; therefore, it is advisable to have a major medical insurance, which works as a preventive financial tool, allowing us to save a lot of money on hospitals, doctors, treatments and medications, to an accident or illness.
Figures from the Mexican Association of Insurance Institutions (AMIS) in Mexico indicate that only 7% of the population has health insurance, ie 8.5 million Mexicans; which is a low penetration when compared with the growth of population diseases.
This low rate of insurance in the health sector is mainly due to the lack of a culture of prevention; Likewise, people do not know the great benefits that offer such policies.

Therefore, on this occasion, I would like to clarify some erroneous thoughts that exist on the major medical insurance:

1. I will never use
In Mexico we are more corrective than preventive, but we must not forget that accidents and diseases make no distinction of age, gender or socioeconomic status; It is much better to be insured and not use it, not have it when it comes to need.

2. It is an extra expense that cannot pay
The major medical insurance covers the fee generated by any illness and / or accident, hospitalization, medications, treatments, studies, consultations, ambulances, etc. If we compare these costs with the cost of such insurance, it is much more convenient to be assured that not be.

3. Until I got sick the contract
Insurance major medical expenses not covered by preexisting, ie if after a diagnosis of a serious illness, it was decided this insurance, the insurance will cover any other disease, except that which was diagnosed in a pre-hire; Additionally, insurers seeking a waiting period for coverage valid in the case of some diseases.

4. I have no money to pay and wait for reimbursement
There is a perception that the insured must pay the amount you have generated illness or accident and then seek reimbursement from the insurance; however, the reality is that insurance companies made payments directly and the insured must pay only the deductible and coinsurance, if these concepts are set out in the policy.

According to expert estimates, in Mexico of 10,000 policyholders, 11 people a year come to suffer an accident involving expenditures of more than a million pesos, while 1 in 10 suffers an accident or illness with an average spending 50,000 pesos.

Reflecting on this we must ask ourselves how much we value our health?

Without health, we have practically nothing; so do not hesitate to investigate and contribute with different insurers such insurance, so you can choose the policy that best suits your needs.

Bangladesh: Widening of tax net stressed

Speakers at a dialogue on the national budget 2015-16 on Saturday suggested the government to expand the tax net and modernize the collection system to meet the revenue target.
They said if the tax net is not widened and strengthened the collection would remain low forcing the government to go for bank borrowings.
Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) organized the dialogue in a city hotel to analyze the proposed budget for FY16.
Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith on June 4 unveiled the national budget of Taka 295,100 crore for fiscal 2015-16, where revenue collection has been set at Taka 208,443 crore in which the NBR would contribute Taka 176,370 crore.
CPD Executive Director Professor Mustafizur Rahman made a keynote
presentation on the proposed budget in which he suggested the government to bring some reforms in the financial sector for implementation of large budget.
CPD advocated for expediting the reform agendas such as public services Act, PPP Act, privatization and financial reporting Act which remained stalled.
The private think-tank body recommended forming five independent
commissions for statistical, agriculture price, local government financing, public expenditure review and financial sector reform towards better macroeconomic management.
Speaking on the occasion as the chief guest, Planning Minister A H M Mustafa Kamal said all the macro-economic indicators give clear indication that proposed budget is implementable.
“We’ve set a goal, and we know the problems and ways of solutions . . . so we are confident that we can implement the budget,” he said.
Replying to the remarks of BNP leaders Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury about the low rate of private sector investment, Kamal said: “when any entrepreneurs see frequent hartal, blockade and petrol bomb why he/she would be interested to invest in the country.”
“Bangladesh economy is moving ahead in a way a balanced economy should run,” the planning minister pointed out.
Terming the budget as a “document of compromise”, State Minister for Finance and Planning M A Mannan said the government has to formulate the budget having consultations with different stakeholders and pressure groups.
Criticizing the proposed budget, BNP leader Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury said investment is the key component of the growth, but for the last few years the private sector is showing reluctance to investment in the country, which forced the public sector to increase its investment.
He said the government has failed to bring reforms in the financial sector that’s why the sector lost dynamism.
Moderated by the CPD Chairman Professor Rehman Sobhan, economists,
academicians, bureaucrats, businessmen, politicians and representatives of stakeholders took part in the dialogue. (Source: BSS)
