I am young and healthy. Why should I "waste" my money on
health insurance now?
"I am 30 years old and in perfect health. My wife is 28 years old and also in perfect health. Both of us work out regularly. None of my family members (or my spouse's family members) have had any health problems before they reached their late 50s. The premium for a R 3 lakh individual policy is around R 3,200 per person or around R 6,400 per annum for my spouse and me.
If I avoid paying this premium for 20 years I will end up saving at least R 1,28,000. I will then take a health insurance policy when I reach 50, which is when I might need it. Why should I not invest this money and earn returns on it and take the health insurance policy only when I 'need' it?"
