I've always had health insurance, especially for catastrophic circumstances. My high school social studies teacher beat that into us. When I was no longer eligible to be under my parents insurance, I got my own.
There is a well know porn star that got pregnant and went to the hospital in Encino to have the baby. Since she did not have health insurance, they put her in an ambulance and sent her to another hospital. Unless, you're known to have money, in part, having health insurance also determines the quality of care that you get.
