ABSTRACT
Health insurance literacy gauges how knowledgeable people are regarding the comparison of health insurance plans to find out the optimal health plan that suits their needs and preferences. Enrolling in a comprehensive plan and proactively addressing health and financial aspects can fortify the stability of families. The plan needs to be used effectively by adapting to evolving circumstances and prioritizing the well-being and prosperity of the household. Having public health insurance can significantly impact an individual's utilization of healthcare services. Having health insurance encourages individuals to promptly seek medical attention without hesitating or avoiding treatment due to financial worries. This results in higher utilization of healthcare services, encompassing routine check-ups, preventive care, and timely intervention for illnesses and injuries. Public health insurance can also improve access to specialized care and expensive treatments that may otherwise be unaffordable for individuals without insurance. By having health insurance, individuals and families can experience a decrease in the economic strain associated with healthcare expenses, thereby enhancing the accessibility and affordability of healthcare services.
